Saturday, 12th September, 202 0 | 04.00 pm to 05.30 pm

In the world’s first film school, in Moscow, students and faculty experimented with different editing techniq ues that have endured to this day. In this workshop, you’ll learn about the historical development of ‘soviet montage’ (or ‘discontinuity editing’), i ts persistence in contemporary cinema and experiment in producing your own micro montages.
