Workshops
SM auf der Leinwand / SM on screen (In English)
The workshop will be in two parts :
The first part will start with a screening of my movie In Between (26 minutes).
Synopsis of In Between
There are in “In Between” extreme performance scenes in a fantastic world of sado-masochism, in which limits are reached with blood and wool.
Between sitting up and lying down, between man and woman, between an order given and being carried out, between cruelty and innocence, a female body bites, pricks, plays, tortures, slashes and savours.
After the screening, we will discuss a little about the movie.
In the second part of the workshop, I will ask people to shoot with one or two cameras, or a cellphone, a little scene that they will prepare with one or two people there. The theme of the screening will be chosen by me. What will be important for the « filmmaker » will be to see and to shoot a body, a skin, that is going to change during the shot (with pain, excitation for example the skin will become red, sweat will appear), and for the actors, they will feel what is « performing », that means they will feel and explore how to find energy, strenght and endurance for one shot.
