WARSHADFILM WORKSHOP.
August 26-29 2021.
A four days lab to make a collective 16mm short movie. Noisecapes will take care of nominating the short to a selection of international festivals.
Lab.
In the secular setting of Matera,
land of myths and archaic stories, WARSHADFILM, working alongside the participants, will lead to the ability to re-look at things, shifting the point of view, reproducing reality with unprecedented means, paying attention to what is usually not observed.
The ordinary becomes extraordinary through a path of oversights, of changes in perspectives, of unusual listening.
You will experience how to make a 16mm film from the start to the end: shooting with Bolex movie cameras, processing and printing B\W in dark room, editing with slicers and tapes, projecting the result!
You will also experience field- recordings composed of sounds and noises of the neighborhood, voices or stories collected and told.
Each participant will have his own technical equipment.
Community.
We take care of the relationship with our place. We think it’s important to create fruitful collaborations, so we thought of asking the locals to open their private video and photographic archives to use them in the film.
In pure WARSHAD style you will learn to tell a place and its memory avoiding the clichés and absorbing all the dark and unusual traits in a collective full immersion.

WARSHADFILM.
Tiziano Doria and Samira Guadagnuolo work in Milano at LABBÀSH - a photo cinematographic lab.
Warshad means “laboratory” and their work stems from applications of analogical photography on 8mm, 16mm, 35mm and large format film.
Most of the work happens in the darkroom and is as deeply associated to the quality of the materials used as it is to the pursuit of reappropriation of the production process, from shooting to final production.
The method is intrinsically entwined with the exploration of forms and language to develop- with the minimal use of instrumentation and its technical potential- a conceptual and poetic equivalent.
The mutuality of images and words also has great consequence as does the study of isomorphic visuals and language.
There are recurring themes: the sun-drenched south, evocative of an intense and symbolic truth - be it the south of their Italian homeland or the farther and more exotic south, both landscapes of cultural inception- and, by extension, setting of our collective youth.
They have made several installations, short films, photographic series, also working with photographic and film archives.
Their short film,“Incompiuta”, shot in Basilicata, was shortlisted at Locarno Film Festival and Torino Film Festival.

The easiest way to reach Matera is to fly to Bari Airport (also called Bari Palese), around 40 miles away. There is a private railway line connecting Bari with Matera and in the summer months, there is currently a free bus service, called Pugliairbus, from Bari Airport to Matera, running several times a day (not Sundays) - book online in advance via the links on the airport webpage. For rooms and food write us an email and we’ll provide you with all our contacts at a special price.
Our workspaces are sanitized in full compliance with the anti Covid-19 legislation. Noisecapes will take care of making a swab test to each participant at no additional cost if required. For this reason, please arrive the evening before the workshop starts no later than 6pm. Thank you.
