InVision 2024
InVision is the industry program of InScience that brings together filmmakers, visual artists, storytellers, researchers, developers, philosophers, art students, and science communicators to stimulate interdisciplinary exchange. The program consists of a keynote, several workshops and networking opportunities. InVision 2024 will take place on Friday 15 March. The main language of this day is English.
The InVision program will be kicked off by David and Jessie Peterson. As linguists they have worked on big productions such as Game of Thrones, Dune and Elemental, creating new languages for some of the characters. Furthermore, we offer interesting workshops and masterclasses, like a masterclass by filmmaker Martin Dohrn and a workshop on working with AI when writing a screenplay.
Because of the diverse program and the networking opportunities, InVision is a place to initiate or kick-start new projects. This makes InScience a breeding ground for creative talents that look beyond the boundaries of their own discipline.
Program
The program is set up as follows:
09:30 / Walk In / LUX Benedenfoyer
10.00u / Opening Keynote with David and Jessie Peterson / LUX 6
The InVision program will be kicked off by David and Jessie Peterson. As linguists they have worked on big productions such as Game of Thrones, Dune and Elemental, creating new languages for some of the characters. During the opening of InVision they will discuss con languages in film. How do they use their research when creating new languages? And what does their collaboration with screenwriters and directors look like?
10.45u / Masterclass Martin Dohrn / LUX 6
The InScience theme program of 2023 is all about language. Language is at the core of our culture, it allows us to understand the world around us. But what do you do when the subject of your film does not speak a human language? How do you tell a story solely with images, in such a way that you keep your audience captivated? In other words: how do you develop your own visual language as a filmmaker? During this session we discuss these questions with filmmaker and director Martin Dohrn, famous for his work on David Attenborough’s wildlife documentaries and the documentary My Garden of A Thousand Bees, for which Dohrn received the NTR Audience Award during InScience 2023. How did Dohrn develop his own language as a filmmaker? And what challenges did he encounter during this process?
12.15 / Lunch / LUX Benedenfoyer
13.45 / Workshop: Brainstorming with AI / LUX 6
Working with artificial intelligence (AI) as a filmmaker: is that possible? And if so, what does it look like? What effect does working with AI have on our creative process? During this workshop professor Media Design Wouter Sluis-Thiescheffer (HAN) will guide a brainstorming session with AI. Together we try to answer the following question: could AI really help us in developing a more creative process?
15.00u / Short break / LUX
15.15u / Wrap up + Pitches of future residencies / LUX 6
Together we will conclude this edition of InVision in LUX 6. During this wrap up, one of our partners will pitch their future residency for filmmakers. Will we see you during one of our future projects? Additionally, we would like to know what you learned this year during InVision and what you would like to learn in future editions. Let us know during this wrap up!
Naturally, there is more than enough time for participants to get to know each other during lunch and drinks. This year’s moderator is Meike van Zandvoort, an experienced chair with firm roots in the film industry and talent development.
16.00u / Drinks / LUX
Open Call (in collaboration with Go Short)
The program also contains a curated one-on-one session with scientists/experts. We invite filmmakers to send us their idea for a (speculative) short fiction film. Three to five filmmakers will be selected to talk about their ideas with an expert to develop it into a concept for a film. Selected filmmakers will also gain access to Go Short’s professionals program on the 5th or 6th of April 2024. Interested? Send your idea (max. ½ A4) to professionals@insciencefestival.nl.
