Secondary Archive: Public launch and promotional campaign

The public launch will take the form of an online webinar. Each project partner will nominate at least one expert, curator, or artist to participate in the Online Launch event. They will share a short statement/presentation outlining their involvement in the project and sharing some insight into the art industry of their country. The presentations will be based on the essays written for the Secondary Archive. We will also invite additional guests. At the last launch, we invited also the representatives of the Visegrad Fund, Manifesta 14 Biennal, Artists from each country and Ukrainian partners and artists. The launch is going to be online, streamed on Facebook and will be available post the event to watch. In addition to the conventional promotion through our partner’s media connections and networks, we will enhance the project launch with the assistance of a PR specialist. They will be responsible for disseminating press releases, facilitating interviews with selected artists when applicable and project representatives, and monitoring media coverage. Through this campaign, our goal is to reach a broad audience by sharing information about the additional content and projects available within the Secondary Archive, such as new curatorial texts and research findings. We will also place a strong emphasis on collaborating with arts-focused media outlets both locally and internationally to boost awareness and support for the project. https://www.facebook.com/katarzynakozyrafoundation/

Visegrad Film Forum – master classes I (Prague)

Master classes by international professionals are designed to benefit all film professions and cover every aspect of the filmmaking process. Guest speakers are selected based on their expertise and experience. The guest speakers are not exclusively from the Visegrad region; our goal is to bring students and young filmmakers, mainly from the Visegrad region, into contact with well-known experts to enhance their knowledge and experience in the film industry, as well as to cross borders and learn about new procedures. In previous years, the VFF has welcomed renowned individuals such as director Peter Strickland (UK); DOPs Christian Berger (AU ), or Slawomir Idziak (PL); documentarian Mads Brügger (DK); film architects László Rajk (HU) or Eggert Ketilsson (IC) ; sound designer Christopher Newman (US) among many others. The master classes are always conducted by the specialized knowledge of the guest speakers, and some may be facilitated by a moderator provided by the event. The master classes are delivered in English; in cases where guest speakers are not fluent in English, we offer high-quality interpretation services to and from English. As many of these individuals are long-term guests, some invitations may extend over several years, contingent upon their availability. Currently, we are in discussions with Gael Garcia Bernal (actor, director), Mark Irwin (DOP), and Ada Solomon (producer). In Prague we are planning to organize 2 master classes. https://www.visegradfilmforum.com/
