She hates butterflies.

Internationally awarded film maker and professor Michael Brynntrup came to Athens with a group of film students from the Braunschweig University of Art, Gemany, to collaborate with a group of students of the Athens School of Fine Arts, in the context of a film - making workshop called "Vice Versa Portraits". The workshop was based on collaboration in a 2-person-team. Each workshop participant worked with an unknown person of the other university. By being limited to visual expression only, the participants had to develop a strong visual language and narration. The workshop’s aim was the production of one silent moving images portrait by each participant.
The results were publicly presented with live soundtracks on March 16th, in Circuits and Currents, Athens, along with a premiere of “CheUn Dalou”, a collective film response to Buñuel’s silent surrealist classic “Un Chien Andalou” from 1929.
The workshop was part of the activities by the Berlin-based network for contemporary silent film "Moving Silence" in Athens 2015. In the events, the open platform wanted to reconnect with the poetic qualities of the origin of cinema by introducing new aesthetics and technologies to an art form that has been kept silent for a long time. This year’s focus was on the topic of portraits in silent film.
