An auteur documentary vivisection class with Oskar Alegria
Narrative economy and an optimisation of resources in the art of telling a story with images. Learning how to draw with light and to write leaving a space for the irruption of magic. Working on presence and above all on absence. Tools like mystery and its brother: silence. Final exercise: seven ways to ensure that a horse and a mare meet.
