“Uncover, discover, discard and find the simplicity in acting.”
This statement embodies the most cutting­edge screen acting course
conceptualised by The Actors Cut organised by Scottish Film Actors
and Writers Workshop producers Andrew and Gregory Byatt. The
workshop, replicating an actual movie shoot, affords participants an
extraordinary opportunity to experience acting in a realistic en vi ronment
similar to ones they will encounter in the professional world.
The Actors Cut has been described as “a roadmap for actors enabling
them to navigate in that foreign land known as a feature film set where
people speak in a strange language and etiquette is unintelligible to
outsiders”.
This one day practical, intensive, professional development
workshop, will enable actors of the Talent Actors Stage to rehearse
and perform film scenes that are recorded using the latest High
Definition cameras by a professional crew and under the guidance of
renowned director of photography Tom Fährmann. The scenes will be
instantly projected, allowing Talent actors to reevaluate and redo their
performances as per the feedback they receive from Fährmann and
course coordinators Andrew and Gregory Byatt.

filmmaker, has been producing and directing films for over twenty
years. Joining him on the panel is Iranian filmmaker Rafi Pitts, whose

Founded in 1907, Theaterkunst specialized from the very start
in creating and renting out costumes to theaters, revues and operas.
In the 1920s, the company made costumes for big productions such
as Fritz Lang’s MeTROPOLIS or Fred Niblo’s BeN HUR. In recent times,
it has fitted the cast of numerous critically acclaimed films including
THe LIVeS OF OTHeRS, THe ReADeR and INGLOURIOUS BASTeRDS.
Theaterkunst’s stock is arranged by historical epochs and genres, and
not by when a film originated. It not only rents costumes but also
designs a very personal and individual collection for each and every
client according to their specifications, taking factors like age, gender,
milieu, profession and status, as well as historical and social context

The ability to show us practically anything, to delve into any

author, animator and documentary filmmaker, has created an array of
astonishing stop­over animations at the Nukufilm Studios in estonia;
