Applications for the international workshop, which will take place between August 29 and September 10, can be submitted by young filmmakers and last-year film school students until August 15. Applicants must send a short motivation letter and CV to info@splitfestival.hr.
The master course will be free of charge, but participants must pay for their own travel and accommodation.
The language of the course will be English and it will involve making a short digital film on a subject specified by Tarr. After individual shooting is complete, all of the material will be used to create a joint short film that will be screened at the International Festival of New Film slated for September 10-17.
Tarr was awarded a lifetime achievement award at the International Festival of New Film in 2006. The same year, the festival showed a retrospective of his works.
The director?s latest film, ?The Turin Horse?, was awarded the top prize at this year?s Berlinale.
There are 40 short and 10 feature films in the competition at this year?s festival. Among them are ones from Poland, France, Austria, Germany, Britain, Belgium, Japan and South Korea, the festival website www.splitfestival.hr said.
