CASA DEL CINEMA AUTUMN SCHOOL
Trieste is now becoming a destination increasingly popular for large-scale cinema and television productions. Driven by this new impetus which has benefitted the entire region, the Casa del Cinema association has decided to launch its Autumn School, seeking to inspire and pass on their passion for the audio-visual world to the younger generation. With more and more experts being recruited, what better way to learn if not from the experts themselves?
Between November and December, three intensive courses will be taking place, allowing the organisers to keep the work up to date as well as offering enthusiasts the opportunity to develop their skills. The courses will be taught in Italian as well as in English, depending on the needs of the participants within the group, and will take place at the Casa del Cinema offices in Trieste.
Travelling from outside Trieste? Not to worry, you’ll be able to get your train tickets for free!*
What’s included: Lessons taught in class by professionals of the audio-visual industry, computer workstations with all the necessary Software, a coffee a day and two complimentary tickets to the opening evening of Trieste Film Festival’s 34th edition (January 2023).
