The programme will include screenings (a selection of Jan Saska’s own work and the work of his close colleagues) and their subsequent analysis. His own filmography will be represented, for instance, by Happy End and a clip from his film Hurricane, still in development. The analyses of creative processes (short films, clips from feature films, trailers etc.) are intended primarily for other filmmakers but will definitely be of interest to fans of animated film as they will provide an insight into the production process.

Familiar with pressure and anxiety around efficiency and productivity? Most of us could do with a little more time wasting, and one can say it’s almost a necessity for creativity! Away with the toxic stigmas, chill out and listen to advice by Céline Veltman, the art director best known for her work on Hidden Folks. Let’s redefine wasting time.

Tereza Stehlíková will discuss her own moving-image practice within the framework of her artistic research into sensory perception and the role of embodiment in filmmaking. The session will include a screening of her selected short films with a particular focus on food and eating. The audience will also be invited to take part in a ‘ritual of sensory initiation for filmmakers’, a playful exercise in the spirit of surrealist games. Films on the programme: Dinner for Deep Surface Divers (2016), Summer Rituals (2014), Theatre of Fruit (2016), Across the Unseen Sea (2014), Ophelia’s Last Supper (2018), Self-Isolation Dinner (2020).
