TEN THINGS WE LEARNED AT THE BERLINALE TALENT CAMPUS: 1. Get yourself a business card. Everybody else has one. 2. Screenwriting is really about alien abductions. – Thomas Schlesinger, screenwriter 3. Editing is really like having great sex. – Susan Korda, editor 4. Musicians don’t like to compete, they form groups. – Tom Third, composer 5. Quentin Tarantino is the DJ of directors, - David Holmes 6. If I couldn’t choose the music for my own movies, I wouldn’t direct anymore. – Wim Wenders 7. If someone comes up to you and asks for your name, make sure it’s not a famous director before you turn your back on them. (Hint: Mora, Hint: Anthony Minghella) 8. If you come back to your hotel room and your luggage is gone, don’t panic. You might end up getting free drinks. 9. The term “guest status” doesn’t seem to have the same meaning in German. 10. The key to understanding German culture is apparently curry-wurst. AWAY FROM THE EFC
My left foot AWAY FROM THE EFC Rotterdam Amsterdam Excursion By Ragnhildur Sigurdardottir In the beginning of the year we were told there would be a trip to a film festival after Christmas. I was kind of excited about the idea. Of course the concept of a film festival should sound appealing to a young and eager film student, but also the thought of going to a big city, a place that never sleeps with cafés, shops, and clubs, warms you up in the cold and dark Ebeltoft nights. Our trip began on the 26th of January and our destination was Amsterdam. We travelled by bus, which takes about 12 hours so we left in the evening and drove through the whole night. I had been fortunate enough to tear my left ankle ligament two days before and therefore I carried crutches as accessories. The doctor’s orders were to rest and keep my leg up so for the bus ride I sat dutifully with my leg on the back of the seat in front of me in a most comfortable manner. When we reached Amsterdam next morning we were treated to two additional hours of sightseeing in the bus due to problems finding the hotel. The hotel turned out to be in a nice 19th Century house, furnished in a modern youth-hostel style. Due to my condition I was only able to move at a snail’s pace but I was fortunate enough to stumble across a bike rental store. So on my new transportation I was able to keep up with the others and, though I do say so myself, I quite blended in with the natives. Well… apart from the fact that I had no idea of the traffic rules and was stopped several times by the police for biking on a pedestrian zone or on the wrong side of a street. The film festival was situated in Rotterdam. Due to my condition I only went there one day and saw 2 films. I can’t say I was enraptured by the ones I saw. The first, Young Gods, was Finnish (Dir. J-P Siili) and extremely silly, whilst having ambitions to be a drama. It was about teenagers who found enjoyment in filming each other having sex, with disastrous consequences. The second one however, a Polish film called Diably Diably, (Dir. Dorota Kedziazowska) turned out to be rather good although nothing really happened in it. It was a study of the relationship between the Poles and the nomadic Romany gypsies told in an interesting, sometimes avantgarde, way. I guess it’s a bit of a lottery when you go to a film festival. We didn’t receive many descriptions of the movies beforehand so I had chosen them kind of randomly. I mainly just tried to pick movies from different countries. So for the remainder of the journey I instead tried to see the attractions of Amsterdam. That included spending a day shopping. I think it is obligatory for a young woman to explore the difference between H&M in the EU countries. Even though I couldn’t fully participate in all of the events on the trip (as I had to leave early) I enjoyed it and hope that an excursion to Rotterdam will be on the schedule for coming years. Ragnhildur Sigurdardottir is a 22 year old Icelander. She has been working in a fish factory since she was 7 and only recently became interested in films. Her interests are skiing, human relations and laminating furniture. In the future she hopes to do feature films about people in real life situations set in Iceland.
