ICP Masterclass | Visual Storytelling in New Media
Luglio 2017
Visual Storytelling in New Media
Come creare una narrazione visiva combinando fotografia, audio, video e materiale d’archivio.
Dal 3 al 28 luglio 2017 si terrà la seconda edizione della Masterclass Visual Storytelling in New Media organizzata da CAMERA in collaborazione con ICP – International Center of Photography di New York. Il corso intensivo di alta formazione è dedicato fotografi che vogliano approfondire e migliorare le proprie capacità teoriche e tecniche, in particolare in ambito documentaristico.
Durante questo programma di un mese gli studenti impareranno come raccontare una storia, come montare una sequenza di immagini attraverso approcci narrativi e non lineari, creando un dialogo tra etica, appropriazione, avvicinamento dei soggetti, acquisendo un bagaglio di competenze sia tecniche che artistiche.
Docenti dell’ICP del calibro di Andrea Cattaneo, Karen Marshall, Saul Metnick, Alison Morley, Bob Sacha e Gaia Squarci guideranno gli studenti in tutte le fasi di realizzazione di un progetto personale finale. La classe sarà suddivisa in due gruppi, in questo modo ogni studente sarà seguito individualmente.
La Masterclass prevede un programma intensivo con lezioni e shooting tutti i giorni compresi i fine settimana.
Un calendario di lectures serali affronterà temi quali Etica, New Media, Pratica Professionale, Social Media.
La partecipazione al corso consentirà agli studenti l’ammissione diretta al One-Year Certificate Program, il corso full time in Fotografia Documentaria e Fotogiornalismo dell’International Center of Photography.
Tutte le lezioni, i seminari e le attività si terranno in lingua inglese.
La Masterclass – commenta il Presidente di CAMERA Emanuele Chieli – si inserisce a pieno titolo tra le attività di CAMERA che ha, tra i propri obiettivi, la valorizzazione e la promozione della fotografia italiana in un dialogo permanente e costruttivo con altre istituzioni internazionali; siamo orgogliosi della collaborazione con un’istituzione prestigiosa come l’ICP.
Dopo la grande attenzione – spiega il direttore di CAMERA Walter Guadagnini – riservata alla presentazione del Censimento delle raccolte e degli archivi fotografici in Italia, questa Masterclass internazionale, con il suo calendario di appuntamenti, è un’altra grande occasione per confermare che CAMERA è sì un grande spazio espositivo, ma allo stesso tempo soggetto protagonista di ciò che accade con e intorno al mondo della fotografia.
Il progetto della Masterclass è reso possibile grazie al contributo della Compagnia di San Paolo che finanzia anche l’attività espositiva di CAMERA per tutto il 2017.
