_SYNOPSIS

Somewhere, sometime... a world in which time runs the same as stones falling implacably on stones. A self-sufficient universe, with rules that escape the common logic but are perfectly valid. Days go by, between daily routine and endless conversations about life, death, God, and weather forecasts. What is divine and what is not? Who brings and who stops the rain? After all, what is normal and what is not? On the fragile and impossible to distinguish border between fiction and documentary, in a contemplative and visually refined way, the film follows the existence of a marginal community that has a profound and unaltered human value, though it's considered "null" from a social utilitarian point of view. Blatantly absurd actions get a second meaning which is deeply emotional. The only way to escape the essential absurdity of this existence is through love.

ARISTOTELES WORKSHOP ASSOCIATION invites creative documentary filmmakers, DPs, editors
and producers from Central and Eastern Europe to the 5th edition of the Aristoteles Workshop, a programme co-financed by the French-German TV Channel ARTE. We are looking for young people with talent, passion, commitment, a voice of their own, and, above all, capacity for teamwork. Our courses are designed for young filmmakers with previous film and/or video experience.

Professional training that encourages the independent spirit, innovation, and creative risk-taking
is provided by preeminent leaders in the field (Thierry Garrel, Jennifer Fox, Rafi Pitts, Marijke Rawie and Martichka Bozhilova), who will help the participants translate their own ideas into fresh, ground breaking documentaries.

The proposed module is a 30 minutes documentary film, but open to fiction elements in any way the students choose.

You will be assisted in promoting and distributing the outcoming films, which gives you a triple benefit: learning, working, and getting exposure. AWA provides production and post production equipment and facilities, and accommodation.
