Filmmaking Marathon 17:00 – 19:00
We wander and explore the nearby environment, the neighborhood of the university, and film with our mobile phone or any other equipment at our disposal, images, sounds and sensations that capture a mosaic of identities that coexist in a moment in time. The Haiku poem, consisting of three verses, becomes the vehicle of the cinematic composition and creation of a film, with a maximum duration of 1 minute, consisting of three shots.
