This workshop is meanwhile booked out!

As part of the curriculum of the MA Film at Hochschule Luzern, we proudly present the following workshop with Danish Director Johan Jensen:

Through an extensive body of work in the field of virtual reality, film director Johan Knattrup Jensen started to explore and challenge the rituals of film, both in the making of and in experiencing cinema.

This workshop will take the audience through all significant virtual reality projects created through the progressive production studio MAKROPOL, and describe the discoveries as well as the challenges, and what thoughts lead to the development of the ritualistic and ceremonial approach to cinema.

Subsequently the students will participate in an idea development proces, which will use the techniques of Johan Knattrup Jensen’s ceremonial approach. The aim of the workshop is to be able to present ideas, where story, format, and audience experience are aligned for a greater emotional impact.

Johan Knattrup Jensen graduated from filmschool in 2012, and his work have since been shown in most of the major film festivals, incl. Cannes, Locarno, IDFA, and New York Film Festival, as well at biennales, art galleries and museums all over the world. His work traverses both cinema, installation, and performance, and he is considered to be among the pioneers of cinematic virtual.

The workshop takes place on 16 Nov 2017, 9.15 – 17.00h, at the Viscosi building 745, room 325, Nylsuisseplatz 1, Emmenbrücke
