> Workshop Interactive Film @ Berlinale 2004
> 5 - 9  February 2004,  public presentation 10 February.
>
> What?
> In a group of 16 international filmmakers you use your own footage to  
> make an interactive film in a 5-day workshop.
>
> The workshop is a pressure cooker style, intense process where you get  
> to know the possibilities of interactive storytelling, design your own  
> project, discuss it with peers and experienced trainers, and build  
> your own working prototype.
>
> Participants can bring 40 minutes of footage maximum per person, or  
> they can use material provided by us.
>
> To make their interactive stories, the participants use the elegant  
> and easy to learn Korsakow System.
>
> All participants are assisted personally in realising their workshop  
> projects. No technical knowledge of new media is required. You have to  
> have experience in making films though!
>
> More information on the Korsakow System and set up of the workshop can  
> be found at http://www.korsakow.org
>
> Why?
> The combination of film making with interactive media offers the  
> possibility to explore new ways of telling film stories, both in form  
> and in content. An interactive presentation of material can offer the  
> viewer the possibility to explore side stories to the main themes in  
> more detail. Then there is the native possibility in interactive  
> narrative projects to offer different or even opposing perspectives on  
> the same themes parallel to each other, forming each other's context.  
> Furthermore interactive projects can open up 'issue spaces', where the  
> viewer ('user') can enter an actual discussion with the perspectives  
> of the author on a theme or issue.
> In this workshop special attention goes to editing for interactive  
> purposes. The key issue of interactive narration and also the central  
> question of this workshop is: how can the users actions and choices be  
> integrated meaningfully in the meaning of an interactive story?
>
> Where, when and how much?
> Workshop days are Thursday 5 February till Monday 9 February with a  
> public presentation on Tuesday 10 February. Workshop sessions take  
> from 10.00 to 16.00 on all days. The workshop takes place at the  
> University of the Arts, 10 minutes from the Berlinale main venues.  
> Participation fee is Euro 350, -. This includes lunches at all  
> workshop days, all materials and equipment and an accreditation to the  
> Berlinale. For more information, mail to korsakow at mediamatic.net.
>
> Trainers
> The workshop will be coached by Mediamatic in cooperation with the  
> University of the Arts in Berlin.

> * Florian Thalhofer, artist and original builder of the Korsakow  
> engine, and maker of the interactive documentary The Korsakow  
> Syndrome.

> and Mediamatic On-Line, an international website on art and media with  
> a daily calendar of cultural events.  Recently Mediamatic opened the  
> permanent exhibition space Mediamatic Supermarkt where art- and new  
> media projects are developed and shown. Next to the Korsakow workshops  
> Mediamatic organises a series of workshops under the title Designing  
> Behaviour, with a conceptual approach to the possibilities of  
> interactive media.
