What is Real?
Workshop with Director Antonio Campos
February 27, 2009, 4:30 - 6:00pm
Carnegie Mellon University, CFA Room 303
Faces of Realism International Film Festival
In an interview, director Antonio Campos was asked, “Your film is told in two parts - documentary and narrative - and yet the first question everyone is going to ask is… ‘What was real?’ What will you say to the first person who asks at the Q & A?” Faces of Realism provides the venue for the answer. Director Antonio Campos will conduct a workshop on Realism in relation to his short film “Buy It Now,” which tells the story of a sixteen-year-old girl who sells her virginity on eBay to the highest bidder. The short gained major attention at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival, where Campos won the Cinefondation Award.
This workshop will be part screening and part discussion. Campos will dissect performance, camera work, editing and the use of video clips in both Buy It Now and the festival feature Afterschool.
Following the workshop, Big Dog Coffee and light refreshments will be served as a precursor to the 7:30pm screening of “Afterschool” at the Pittsburgh Filmmakers Melwood Screening Room.
