2 Day Cell Phone Cinema Workshop with Professor Karl Bardosh

Within the framework of the International Short Film Festival 2 Annas, the National Film Center’s MEDIA Desk and creative agency CREA Promotion presents a unique cell phone cinema workshop by professor Karl Bardosh from New York University. The seminar will take place on February 15 – 16 at Rīgas Mazais Teātris and will be conducted in English.

“Hollywood in your Pocket” that’s what Cell Phone Cinema means. Today everyone can learn the language of film and television, whilst carrying in their pocket a Smart Phone, which is in reality a full film studio. From writing, to shooting, editing as well as instant distribution, it’s all there. Cell Phone Cinema changes the World by putting this most powerful tool of audiovisual communication in the hands of masses of people from across the Globe,” states Professor Karl Bardosh.

He is award-winning director, producer, writer, editor of features, shorts, television series and documentaries. Throughout these years Prof. Bardosh has been a trendsetting pioneer in many areas of film and television. He has also been titled Father of the Cellphone Cinema.
