Designing Film Posters: Workshop for BA and MA-students, PhDs and Post-Docs (UZH only)

An Exhibition and a Workshop with Vasilis Marmatakis

 
 
Design and film: the idea behind the project
In 2009, when the sovereign debt crisis started in Greece, Dogtooth (Yorgos Lanthimos, 2009) attracted prestigious festival awards and a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars. It was followed by the so-called “Greek New Wave”, namely critically acclaimed and award-winning films. Two of the artists that contributed to this success were the designer Vasilis Marmatakis and the Oscar-nominated screenwriter Efthymis Filippou. Both of them will collaborate in the framework of this workshop.

Workshop on Designing Posters for Films
(for BA and MA-students, PhDs and Post-Docs, UZH only)

In the workshop, Mr Marmatakis will present to the participants his method and techniques on designing film posters and how to shape the visual communication of a film. Given that a movie will not be available, he will send the participants a script by Efthymis Filippou a few days before the event. 

Guided Tours at the Museum für Gestaltung:
Before the workshop, the curator of the Museum für Gestaltung, Bettina Richter, will present the participants and Mr Marmatakis with the extensive collection of film posters of the Museum.
