> Every year the Faculty of Communication Sciences of the Università della
> Svizzera italiana and the Locarno International Film Festival organise a
> Summer School to analyse fiction and non-fiction cinema. The Summer
> School is part of Réseau Cinéma CH, a Swiss university consortium
> promoting two Master of Arts programs in Film Studies and
> Filmmaking.
>  
> The XI Film Summer School will explore the cross-hybridization between
> contemporary fiction cinema and documentaries in dialogues with scholars
> and filmmakers. The scholars invited are professors Raffaele De Berti
> from the Università degli Studi di Milano andJenaro Talens
> from the Université de Genève. We are also pleased to announce that
> the renowned Argentinian director Lisandro Alonso will be among
> the directors guests at this year’s Summer School.
>  
> The aim of the XI Film Summer School is to reflect on the processes of
> cinematographic realism.  A "realistic effect" is not
> generated by a simple reproduction of the world, but rather from the
> presence of a series of textual strategies and cultural conditions that
> generate this "realistic effect". In fact, a film is not just a
> mirror which reflects what is in front of the camera but rather a text
> which illustrates and re-illustrates a universe and then exhibits this
> universe to an audience.  What is at stake are the "realistic
> effects", bound by what the film shows; the way it makes proposals
> to the audience and the way in which the audience accepts what is being
> proposed to it.
>  
> The Summer School offers the opportunity to 20 undergraduate and graduate
> students to explore the techniques of analysis and the processes of film
> creation and production through the following teaching activities:
>  
> Seminars
> Four seminar-lectures, coordinated by prof. Giuseppe Richeri, will deal
> with the complexity of contemporary animation in creative and production
> terms.  Guest teachers will include scholars Raffaele De Berti
> (Università degli Studi di Milano) and Jenaro
> Talens(Université de Genève).
>  
>
> Workshops
> The four modules - coordinated by dr. Nevina Satta - will consist of two
> workshops conducted by two renowned filmmakers, one of whom will be the
> famous Argentinian director Lisandro Alonso. Using analytical
> methods, the authors will present their own creative-production processes
> and the typical features of their relevant market. Laboratory work
> includes the viewing and the discussion of one or more films, each
> author’s presentation of his conception and production cycle in its main
> stages, and will conclude with a group discussion with the film
> director.
