Open call for the European Workshop for Film Criticism’s 6th edition

Talking Shorts and the European Network for Film Discourse (The END) present the 6th edition of the European Workshop for Film Criticism during the Belgian filmfestival Kortfilmfestival Leuven, in December, and the Vilnius Short Film Festival (Lithuania) in January.

The workshop will explore different forms of written film criticism. In Leuven, participants will work on the fundamentals of writing a solid film review, whereas in Vilnius, the focus will be on essayistic, long-form texts. 

The writing process will be supervised editorially during the festivals, and a selection of the texts will be published on Talking Shorts.

Savina Petkova is the tutor of this tandem workshop, and will be joined by several guest mentors yet to be announced. A critic and journalist, she has written for Variety, Sight and Sound, MUBI Notebook, Little White Lies, among others. Savina is also an editor for Talking Shorts, a staff writer for Locarno’s daily publication, and a programmer.
