Maria Ångerman (graduate 2014) - Filmscreening The Dead Walk Side by Side with the Living and Q&A
The film invites immersion in parallel but distinct worlds. Humanity and animality, alienation and tactility, language and silence – the video piece touches on a range of themes, though at the core is the exploration of the human/animal split as a binary opposition. The screening is a cinematic adaptation of a three-channel-installation.

Fedor Limperg - Shortscuts to spontaneity - can filmmakers hack acting techniques?
The use of spontaneity in acting is often misunderstood. This short lecture aims to look at what an extraordinary activity acting is and explores what non-actors might gain from various acting techniques. True emotions cannot be planned, and by its nature, spontaneity never occurs on demand. In fact film actors and directors need to work around this paradox: the harder you try, the less spontaneity you get.
Meanwhile acting is one half of the inseparable pair of acting and directing (without a director present, an actor is still directed, albeit by themselves). Being material, creator and tool at the same time, actors have learned to deal with certain problems of creativity in unique ways. These specific creative insights of acting professionals might have significance beyond acting.
Join this meeting to explore the possible use of acting principles by non-actors. After a short presentation based on the Master-research of the speaker, you are invited to share your thoughts.
Fedor’s graduation installation It’s Not Like I Planned It This Way (4 film proposals) is also on show as part of the programme. Presenting a film plan is often done merely through a synopsis, a few lines of text to communicate what might become an entire film. This installation is an attempt to enrich the traditional synopsis format to appeal to all the senses used by a film audience. Entering a dimly lit space, visitors experience different facets of 4 films plans including gestures, objects, smell, colour, image and sounds. The set-up shows a different approach to presenting film ideas, practically applied to the four sample projects. When leaving the space, visitors are asked to share what they liked best about the films-to-be.
