Genius Loci (The Spirit of a Place) Workshop by Professor Jyri Sillart (Baltic Film and Media School) 4-5-6 April 2010

Professor Jyri Sillart and three of his graduated students from the Baltic Film and Media School came to İstanbul Kültür University for a three day workshop with IKÜ students and assistants. The workshop consisted of discovering “the smell” of a place – various sites of Istanbul were explored in order to come up with a film scene that would somehow give its audience the spirit of that place.
 
Shooting took place in one morning (4 hours) where one student from BFM was appointed ‘advisor’ for each group. Editing took place in one night, followed by a day of screening.
