WORKSHOPS
ATELIER RUIDAGEM
What is the power of a sound and an image coming together?
"Atelier Ruidagem" is an educational artistic project, for all ages, offering experimentation of the audio-visual event through the art of film with sound.
Understanding the potential of the audio-visual medium through the experimentation of cinema with sound creates a stimulus to interpretative creativity and enriches each person’s poetic dimension.
SOUND MIXERS
10.OCT | From 11 am to 1 pm
Casa da Cultura
Did you know that sounds can mixed just like colours on paper? Let’s play mixing sounds and experiment with them, shaping moving pictures just like shaping a plaster doll.
This workshop was a hit!

SCHHH... LETS MAKE SILENCE!
Did you know that silence doesn't exist?
Everything is invented in cinema, even the feeling
of silence. Let's learn how to create silence to make images more captivating. What different sensations can we produce with silence in a film?
Primary schooll students (max 12 atendees per session)
Duration: 90'

LET'S PLAY OUTSIDE THE FIELD
In cinema, the off-screen is what we sense or imagine as being present but can’t see. In this workshop, sounds will be the invisible friends with which we’ll venture into the unknown territory of the off-screen. With them we will explore the world of images.
Primary schooll students (max 12 atendees per session)
Duration: 90'
