Masterclass Editing as a Writing Tool(s)

ECHOS Cinématographiques

Masterclass Editing as a Writing Tool(s)

It all begins with an encounter, a memory; writing is a way of invoking a form of memory... And storytelling, beyond its classical conception, may be about extracting, abstracting, imagining.

Carine Doumit, Yosr Gasmi, and Mauro Mazzocchi invite us into a conversation about their writing and editing practices. Conversing is about invoking "exchange, intimacy, companionship." Perhaps these parameters are necessary to collectively reflect on the art of composing, imagining, and observing the details within this weaving that continually draws nourishment from life practices, as well as the challenges of the productive context to which the film is subject.

Carine Doumit invites us to follow together, for the duration of a conversation, this thread of Ariadne.

Masterclass « Bye Bye Tibériade » : Weaving Time Making a Mark Against Erasure

ECHOS Cinématographiques

Masterclass « Bye Bye Tibériade » : Weaving Time Making a Mark Against Erasure

Drawing from film excerpts, Azza Chaabouni will engage in dialogue with filmmaker Lina Soualem about the multifaceted writing processes in her documentary creative approach. The discussion will illuminate the back-and-forth movement between various stages of writing: textual work, filming, and editing .This non-linear process weaves time between the present and images of the past, composed of familial and historical archives. 

Throughout this session, the filmmaker will reveal how she sought to reawaken the intimate memories of her loved ones to reclaim their/her story, undertaking the urgent task of addressing issues of colonial trauma, exile, and transmission through creative writing and the construction of imaginary territories. 

Through her films, she brings visibility to intimate memories that resonate with collective memories of a community, a people, invisibilized, uprooted, marginalized beings deprived of their identities, and constantly compelled to reinvent themselves in perpetual exile.

Masterclass "Geology of Separation" : Film Tectonics (Cinema, an Age of the Earth)

ECHOS Cinématographiques

Masterclass "Geology of Separation" : Film Tectonics (Cinema, an Age of the Earth)

There is the tectonics of plates and there is that of films, both concerned with the terrestrial community - prior to any occupation, which is colonial appropriation. The tectonics thus require workers and carpenters (tektôn) to build temporary shelters of hospitality, just as the cinema does. They are the rhapsodes weaving the desired textile (the text) of a shared habitability - weavers akin to those in Gaza. On either side of a screen whose gauze is known to be torn. The images promise, contrary to punches and gunshots, friendly handshakes. This is called editing, our beautiful concern, and all re-edits rise from the ruins of endured time.

Cultural Mediation Training

L'Art Rue

Cultural Mediation Training

The artistic and cultural scene in Tunisia has shown significant dynamism for over a decade, marked by a multitude of large-scale cultural events such as Dream City, Jaou, Gabès Cinéma Fen, the Carthage Days across various sectors, Kif el Kef, and more. However, beyond the events and their impact on audiences and Tunisian society at large, arises the question of the role of mediation within cultural initiatives.

Cultural mediation has a crucial role to play in the sector, especially at a time when inclusivity is strongly recommended.

Indeed, a common misconception—especially within the cultural sector—is to reduce mediation to a mere communication technique. While communication is indeed one aspect, mediation distinguishes itself by its territorial anchorage, exploring local issues. 

The term 'mediation' is also often used, with a focus on conflict resolution. Yet, let us not forget that cultural mediation is, above all, about fostering encounters. 

In Tunisia, in the training content, there is currently no specific branch dedicated to mediation in higher education. Addressing this gap, this training leverages the productivity of the Tunisian cultural scene and addresses current questions surrounding the role of the mediator and cultural rights, aiming to train professionals in this field.

Thisfirstmodule'Concepts and Challenges of Cultural Mediation / Cultural Mediation as a Meeting Point' (to be followed in 2025 by asecond, more specific module focused on the plurality of audiences and inclusive culture), seeks to broaden participants' perspectives by examining various contexts and modalities of cultural mediation. Particular emphasis is placed on enhancing participants' analytical skills, enabling them to strategically conceive, organize, and support cultural mediation projects.
