WORKSHOP: LOW-BUDGET HIGH-CONCEPT FILMMAKING
Teachers: Jay Stern and Victor Varnado
New York-based independent filmmakers and First Sundays curators Jay Stern and Victor Varnado present a 2-hour workshop on ultra low-budget filmmaking. Using clips from their own work plus some First Sunday's favorites, Jay and Victor illustrate how to achieve high value cinematic magic with little to no resources.

CONTEMPORARY FILM COURSE: Virtual Body
Curated by Ernest Truely (U.S.A.):
“I approached the organization of this film festival as I approach art production. My artist statement has to do with using art, science and technology to bring us closer together. I set my sights on putting together an event that would bring us closer to each other.
Most of the selections for our program were made while I was living in Brooklyn. On a warm June evening in Williamsburg I met up with Mo Johnston, one of the curators or the New York Underground Film Festival. She gave me some screeners from which we culled the first pieces for the festival. The same night I met Jay Van Buren who presents an interactive art piece in Second Life in the Williamsburg galley Jack the Pelican Presents. It was Jay/s approach that set a tone for the festival, the combination of real and virtual to bring us together.
Projects were reviewed by a committee including Demetrios Argyopolis, Nadine Grey, Nicole Hebert, Ville Karol and Coco Patterson. We reviewed solicited films and submissions from an open call. Selections were made in collective; we shared ideas for how to present the work.
I met with artists and curators in person in Chicago, New York and Tallinn and through countless hours of correspondence by email, chats and Skype. It was important for me to develop relationships with the artists in order to understand their intentions and how to best present the work.
The program features many American artists and European artists working in the U.S. In the program I listed American artists by geographic location to emphasize the cultural differences among art from different regions of the U.S.
Guest curators Andrew Hicks (Chicago), Moira Tierney ( Dublin ), Jay Stren and Victor Varnado ( New York ) were selected to present programs of short films. While I left the theme Virtual Body open to the interpretation of each curator .the power of their programs are enhanced by their presence at our events in Estonia .
What interests me about the theme Virtual Body is the opportunity to contemplate developments in technology and the evolution of my virtual body. My virtual body manifests itself in media that existed only in the imagination of past generations. I am old enough to remember life before cell phones, when waiting for an important call meant being fixed to a physical location, staying home. Now my virtual body roams more freely.”
Chicago Works by Andrew Hicks (Chicago)
A virtual body is a body remembered, a body projected, a body implied. It is a cloud of peripheral clues pointing to an original that exists for each one of us in our own sensations. It is perhaps the most subjective of topics. This collection of videos explores this fog of subjectivity in multiple ways.
Information about our bodies comes to awareness through many channels of distortion and decomposition. Emily Kuehn, Sandra Rosas-Ridolfi, RJ Chmiel, and Jared Larson play with this idea through the narratives of myth, memory and recreation.
The body as a location of aesthetic experience is the elementary phenomenological expression. Artists Andrew Hicks, Taylor Hokanson, I Love Presets, and Sasha Samochina are concerned with the primal: the shape, the appearance, the formal qualities of the human shape as it moves through space. Yet, the body doesn't end at the skin. Matthew Nelson, Niki Nolan, and Janell Baxter each portray the spaces bodies inhabit, emphasizing the absence of inhabitants.
Body as action. Body as simulation. Body as a locus for ideologies. These themes come through the work of Stacia Yeapanis and Amber Hawk Swanson as they read the contemporary culture as feminist allegory.
These are the examinations we are experiencing in the heart of America, and they all point toward a further loss of the physical. There is no question our actions in the future will further virtualize the body. The real consequence of this collection of art is the awareness of how far along we have come already.
First Sundays curated by Victor Varnado and Jay Stern ( New York )
First Sundays has presented nearly 600 short comedy films over the past six and a half years. It is a daunting challenge to select our favorite films from this collection. In choosing the films to screen at Non Grata art container, we selected films which illustrate the wide range of styles we've shown at First Sundays, with an emphasis on non-verbal films which will play well for an international audience. Our screening is divided into three main sections: ultra-low budget films, animation, and wildly imaginative films, although naturally these categories overlap each other in many of our selections.

FILMIKLUBI /Solus Collective
Õppejõud: Moira Tierney (Ireland/New York)
Solus is an independent film collective and platform for film-makers working in Super-8mm / 16mm and DV. The group was formed in 1998 in Dublin, Ireland.
Solus has the dual aim of showing Irish short and avant-garde films abroad and international short and avant-garde films in Ireland. The first programme Solus compiled was screened in the Irish Film Center’s ‘First Cut’ in December 1998, and was then brought to Anthology Film Archives in New York in May 1999. In ‘Ocularis’, an independent venue also in New York which recently had a 10 year retrospective in MOMA, this programme was modified as ‘Flix & Kicks’. Flix & Kicks premiered new work by Solus members and invited guests in super-8mm, 16mm & VHS. Then Xeno, presented by BAM Cinematek ( Brooklyn Academy of Music ) & the New York Underground Film Festival, presented a sampling of do-it-yourself shorts by young Irish film-makers and international members of Solus. Described as “ Low budget but serious”, “contemplative, rockin’, atmospheric and clever”, it featured Moira Tierney and Giles Packham’s ‘Ride City’, a twin-screened tavelogue through an urban horse show, and the Brooklyn shot ‘Seven Ways ‘Til Sunday’, winner of the Best New Irish Short at the Cork Film Festival.

Multimedia workshop' i raames keskendutakse tööle interdistsiplinaarsete energeetiliste kooslustena muusik <-> kunstnik <-> näitleja <-> tantsija. Eesmärgiks on erinevate kunstialade interaktsioon: heli, pildi, valguse, liikumise ja sõna sümbioos tipptehnoloogilises keskkonnas.
Arvestades jaanuris 2008 saadud kogemusi ehitatakse workshop 'i raames Pärnu Vanalinna Põhikooli saali kaheks nädalaks kaheksakanaliline elektrooniline audiokeskkond, millega liituvad ka pildi ja valguse elektroonilise töötlemise võimalused. Esimesel nädalal toimuvad üksikesinejate soolokontserdid, teisel nädalal valmistatakse ette interdistsiplinaarne ühendkunstiteos ACTION KUUBIS II ning kolmandal nädalal esitatakse teost Tõrvas, Tartus ja Tallinnas.
Workshop 'i raames toimub audio- ja videoelektroonika võimalusi tutvustav haridusprogramm Pärnu Vanalinna Põhikooli, Pärnu Sütevaka Humanitaargümnaasiumi ja Pärnu Kuninga Tänava Põhikooli õpilastele.
Töörühm (nimekiri täieneb): Andrus Kallastu (produtsent, muusikalise teostuse koordinaator), Hans-Gunter Lock (audiotehnoloogia koordinaator), Hille Karm (videotehnoloogia koordinaator), Kaspar Aus (tantsija), Leonora Palu (flööt), Kai Kallastu (vokaal), Bartosz Koziak (tšello), Anna Zielinska (viiul), Jorma Toots (klahvpillid), Rait Rosin (video), Liina Vedler (video) jne.
Workshop toimub koostöös Eesti Muusika- ja Teatriakadeemia elektronmuusika stuudio ja Eesti Kunstiakadeemia multimeedia osakonnaga.
Pärnu Nüüdismuusika Päevade 2009 haridusprogramm on tihedalt seotud päevade raames toimuva multimedia workshop 'iga. Jätkame kogemustest, mida saime pilootprojekti läbiviimisel 2008. aastal. Igal workshopi päeval kell 13-14 külastas Pärnu Vanalinna Põhikooli saali kolm klassitäit Pärnu Vanalinna Põhikooli õpilasi, kellele tutvustati workshop 'il kasutatavat tehnoloogiat. Aktiivsematest õpilastest moodustus töörühm, mille liikmed osalesid koolivälisel ajal workshop 'i töös ja etendustel.
Pärnu Nüüdismuusika Päevade 2009 haridusprogrammi raames on plaan kutsuda toimuvaga tutvuma ka Pärnu Vanalinna Põhikooli naabruses asuvate Pärnu Sütevaka Humanitaargümnaasiumi ja Pärnu Kuninga Tänava Põhikooli õpilased ning koostada internetipõhine õppevahend elektroonilise muusika tehnoloogiatest.

MULTIMEDIA WORKSHOP
Õppejõud: Hans Gynter Lock (Germany/Estonia)
Kursusel osalejad omandavad kogemuse rahvusvahelise tasemega spetsialisti assisteerides multimeedia installatsiooni tehnikast ja spetsiifikast, õpivad tundma erinevaid tehnilisi võimalusi. Kursus keskendub helikunsti, multimeedia ja interaktiivse performance ühendamisse. Esimesel päeval toimub tehniline installeerimine ja teisel päeval Big Interactive Multimedia Performance in Pärnu Art Hall, kus publik osaleb uue heliteose sünnis.
Hans-Gunter Lock is a composer and a musicologist, and has been living in Estonia since 2000. His creative work consists mainly of electronic music or combinations with acoustic instruments. Evermore, he specializes in the production of electronic sounds in real-time, creating live-performance environments, which are connected to acoustic instruments, or controlled by electronic performers. He also experiments with different ways to express musical ideas through physical embodiment, like, for example, electro-mechanical remote facilities such as Disklavier-technology and alternative control environments using sensors and motion tracking. He is interested in collaborations with different multimedia and performance artists, and, in addition to his own creative output, tends to exceed the sphere of music performance traditions.
Born in 1974, in Halle an der Saale, Germany, Hans-Gunter Lock studied music theory with Hans-Wilhelm Hösl from 1994 to 2000, and composition with Dimitri Terzakis. He also studied electro-acoustic music with Eckard Rödger at the Leipzig University for Music and Theatre "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy". He continued his musicological studies with Mart Humal at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre (EAMT), and completed several courses at the academy's Electronic Music Studio. From 2004 to 2006 he furthered his studies at Hamburg University of Music and Theatre in multimedia composition under the instruction of Georg Hajdu. Since September 2008 he started doctoral studies in composition with Margo Kõlar at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre.
From 2002 to 2008 Hans-Gunter Lock was an assistant at the Electronic Music Studio of EAMT, also since 2002 he has lectured on several subjects related to electronic music, like Sound Synthesis, Sonagram Analysis, Algoritmic Composition, Live-electronics and Interactive Composition, Practice of Analogue Synthesis, and Seminar on Electronic Music. For several years he has been the artistic director of the EAMT's electronic music concert in the biannual contemporary music festival, NYYD. In 2007 Hans-Gunter Lock became the head of the New Media Lab at the New Media Department of Estonian Academy of Arts.

Kaasaegse helikunsti sümpoosium
Õppejõud: Andrus Kallastu
Kursusel osalejad omandavad kogemuse kaasaegse helikunsti temaatikast ja spetsiifikast
Andrus Kallastu heliloomingu võib jaotada kahte perioodi: enne ja pärast aastat 1991. Esimese perioodi loomingut iseloomustab vaba atonaalne helikeel, motoorne, tihti ostinaatne rütmika, neoklassitsistlik kõlakäsitlus, teise perioodi teoseid seriaalne tekstuur, väljatehnika, mittepulseeriv rütmika, muusikalise heli ning müra piire kompav kõla.
Tegutsenud ka muusikaalaste tekstide kirjutaja ja tõlkijana.
Audiovisuaalse kontserdi "Urban Sounds" pealkiri viitab jazz-viiuldaja Indrek Palu samanimelisele originaalteosele, mis on inspireeritud urbanistliku linnaruumi helidest ja kus on vastandatud korrapärast ja korrapäratut, meloodiat ja müra. Selline vastandus on ka kogu kontserdi läbivaks jooneks. Jazz-muusikud Indrek Palu ja Marek Talts esitavad oma originaalloomingut ja töötlusi kasutades elektripille ning töödeldes nende kõla live's audiotöötlus elektroonikaga. Kogu konsterdi kõlalist pilti täiendab veel elektronmuusik ja helilooja Hans-Gunter Lock, kes lisab kõrgetasemelist live-elktroonika tehnikat kasutades efekte, kõlavärve ja helikogumeid nii varem ettevalmistatud motiivide ning lõikudena kui ka live's muusikute intsrumentide helisid töödeldes. Kontserdi visuaalse poole teostavad Pärnust pärit EKA animatsiooni eriala magistrand Gabriela Järvet ning videokunstnik Tõnis Liivamägi. Neid seob ka varasem koostöö nimetatud muusikutega. Näha saab kontserdil kõlavast muusikast inspireeritud videokollaazhi. Kõnealune projekt on Leonora Palu kontserdisarja "Vaata muusikat, kuula kunsti.." kolmas kontsert
