It’s a semi-practical seminar dedicated to diary film as an archival practice of the everyday. We will watch and discuss films that fall under the categories of “film diaries,” “diary films,” and “film letters” as well as engage with texts of filmmakers, poets, and scholars who orient themselves towards experimental cinematic worldmaking and storytelling. Moreover, we will make our own diary films trying to put together bits and pieces, scraps, and traces of our everyday into a film form.
Prerequisites: The students have to have a basic knowledge of filmmaking: how to shoot and how to edit films.
