For the second time in a row, creative hub OBJEKT (Narva) is holding the filmmaking camp OBJEKT: shorts. People of any age or background, who would like to share their stories through visual art and speak about serious subjects in front of big audiences, are welcome to join.

Camp coordinator Natalia Machenene notes: „It is maybe impossible to learn filmmaking in 1,5 months. But this time is enough to learn the basics and, guided by supervisors, go all the way to making your own short film – from developing the idea to montage“.

The camp offers webinars and workshops from film industry professionals. Among them are: Yulia Idlis (screenwriter for TV-series Fartsa ("Фарца"), co-screenwriter for The X-Files: Deep State mobile game), director German Golub (his short film My Dear Corpses has been awarded with Student Oscar), sound director Dmitri Natalevich (documentary Ott Tänak, narrative films Portugal and Green Cats), lighting designer Andrei Kulpin (narrative films Estonian Funeral, Kratt, Minsk), operator Aleksei Kulikov (short film I Loved, documentary On Silver Heels), montage specialist Yaroslav Ziko (short film I Loved, documentary Voices Behind the Hills).
The films will be shown at OBJEKT creative hub in frames of KinoFF festival. The audience will have the chance to discuss films with authors. The best films will be shown on the big screen at Apollo Astri cinema.
