sinopse
The purpose of this talk is to propose a non-formulaic model that can be used as a set of guidelines during script development for short fiction films. Unlike sequential models, which focus on a series of steps a story is presumed to pass through as it unfolds, the present approach is based on the view that short film storytelling can best be described in terms of opposing properties that balance one another in a dynamic interplay. Seven forms of interplay or balance will be proposed, each illustrated by a short film. The prize-winning films to be shown in this perspective:
THE WAR IS OVER LA GUERRA È FINITA Nina Mimica (Italy, 1997) 7 min
COME KOM Marianne Ulrichsen (Norway, 1995) 4 min
EATING OUT Pål Sletaune (Norway, 1993) 7 min.
