Moving Silence and Goethe-Institut Athen welcome the Amsterdam based american film maker Reynold Reynolds for a workshop about time lapse production.

Following his artistic practice, Reynolds will show participants how to produce sequences that compress time. Participation is especially worthwhile for people with an interest in animation. The workshop will start with a seminar of the artist at Goethe-Institut Athen on the genre of City Symphony films. Beginning with Vertov's "Man With a Movie Camera" (1929) and ending with Singh's "Enter Pyongyang" (2014 ), Reynolds will use various films examples to show how artists contributed to this genre in different periods of film making. For the workshop production, he will focus on the technique of time-lapse photography with equipment ranging from iPhones and video cameras to digital still cameras. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn how to program Arduino micro-computers in order to control Nikon DSL still cameras. The students will, then, have a day to shoot their own clips that will be incorporated in one film on the the third day.

On April 17th, the resulting film will be presented and accompanied with a live music performance by the band Minimaximum Improvision and german musician Ann Weller at Goethe-Institut Athen.

About the film maker
Influenced early on by philosophy and science, and working primarily with 16mm as an art medium, Reynold Reynolds has developed a film grammar based on transformation, consumption and decay. Detailed evolving symbols and allusive references create a powerful pictorial language based on his analytical point of view. Reynolds' depiction of people often makes us aware of the small frames we use to understand reality. By subtly altering the regular conditions of life and watching their effects, he transfers the experimental methods of science to filmmaking, where he frames reality in his laboratory and changes one variable at a time to reveal an underlying causality.
