WORKSHOP 2011You might be born as a movie lover and you might even be a diehard genre fan, but tobecome a genuine moviemaker, you’ll undoubtedly need some training. That’s why everyyear the BIFFF organizes its Workshop “Fantastic Brussels”. This unique experienceallows students of two Brussels based film schools (RITS and INSAS) to direct two shortmovies under the supervision of an experienced and renowned foreign film director.For this 16 th edition, the big boss is Jake West, Englishfilmmaker with some heavy stuff on his CV: Razor Blade Smile,Evil Aliens (presented at the BIFFF in 2006), and his latest, theanti macho zombie flick Doghouse.Practically speaking, the shooting will take place on the 22 nd , 23 rd and 24 th of March. Theediting and the post-production will go on from March 25 th until March 30 th . And the officialscreening will, off course, take place at the BIFFF during its Belgian Fantastic Film Day !And there are also some Prizes to be attributed. One lucky student will receive the Eye-Lite Award (2500€ of lightning equipment for a next project).
