DIRECTORS' MASTERCLASSES

The New Horizons Studio gives its participants an opportunity to meet some of the world's most interesting auteurs. We carefully selected the participants of the Directors' Masterclasses to represent two different worlds of film-making.

Jonathan Caouette


Jonathan Caouette is a special type of filmmaker - dynamic, indy director/producer, who is not afraid of going through his own emotional baggage in order to catch the audience's attention. How far can you go before you switch off the camera?

His Masterclass will be ran as an extensive Q&A session on aspects of filmmaking, as well as film promotion based on his experiences from making Tarnation.

Nuri Bilge Ceylan


Many of Mr. Ceylan's films were screened at the ERA New Horizons IFF in the past and some can be seen during the 10.NH IFF. Ceylan's style is very distinct: he uses static shoots and long takes, usually in natural ambiance, as well as menacing silences along his "stream-of-consciousness aesthetics". He is known for filming his protagonist from behind which, in his view leaves the audiences to speculate on the brooding emotions of characters whose faces are obscured. His casts generally consist of amateur actors, most of which are his family members, including his mother and father.

The Masterclass will be ran as Q&A session with a moderator, during which, Mr. Ceylan will explain his philosophy of filmmaking.
