From Smartphone to cinema

Workshop with  Claudio di Biangio – May 02 at 14-18 @BLA

 In the age of digital convergence, the line between spectator and creator is becoming increasingly thin. The intensive workshop led by Claudio Di Biagio at Ennesimo stems from this very awareness: transforming the smartphone from a mere everyday object into a powerful tool for artistic expression. It is not just about technique, but about acquiring a method—learning to master audiovisual language in every phase, from writing to post-production, to produce high-level content from scratch. In a journey that blends theory and field practice, participants will become the Festival’s official reporters, professionally documenting the behind-the-scenes action of the 11th edition of EFF.

Di Biagio’s expertise as a pioneer of transmedia storytelling in Italy will be further explored within The Crafts of Cinema format. An interview curated by Artesettima, introducing an EFF screening evening, will allow us to delve into the new frontiers of directing and the responsibility of storytelling within today’s digital ecosystem. A vital dialogue to understand how technological innovation can serve an author’s vision.
