Filmmaker and chronicler from São Paulo Ugo Giorgetti is the first guest of the Artist in Residence Program “Hilda Hilst”, promoted by the Institute of Advanced Studies (IdEA) of the State University of Campinas (Unicamp). The director and screenwriter will offer a free, weekly course focusing on different topics, such as the transition from analogue cinema to digital cinema, the film actor and the theater actor, advertising cinema, documentaries and fiction, teamwork on set of filming, the future of cinemas and the football chronicle, among others.
With limited places, the course is aimed at everyone interested in film production, regardless of academic background, covering issues in the areas of cinema, medialogy, audiovisual, advertising, performing arts, journalistic chronicle and literary creation. The meetings will provide students with an exclusive experience of collaborating on the script for Giorgetti's next film, titled “Dora and Gabriel”. The best ideas will be incorporated into the preparation of the script for the feature-length fiction film.
