Obsah

AN UPSTREAM RIVER BETWEEN FICTION AND NONFICTION is a film workshop that moves away from both fiction and nonfiction. Far away from formulas, scripts and film crews. It uses the multiplication of mistakes as the driving force, the fragile state of not knowing as the compass.

The starting point is identifying a current creative pursuit to then find its contrary; so that the participants can allow themselves to conceive or further an idea from an opposing position. The reason behind this is to be able to reinvent one’s own creative approach- to find new ways, to become free of one's own methods in pursuit of reinvention.

The raw material from which we will pull from will be circumstantial reality. An important part of this workshop is finding new ways to perceive. To find different ways to create ‘narrative tension’ by using desire, unpredictability and deconstruction.

AN UPSTREAM RIVER… is a space to harness one's ability to surprise one’s self; and apply this new motion into a filmmaking pursuit.

  1. Far and in Between: finding new structures in between fiction and nonfiction (theoretical / philosophical)
  2. Expanding Perceptions: observation as a narrative tool (practical)
  3. Editing like Weaving: editing as a construction that comes from within (theoretical)
  4. Contradicting Oneself: reinventing one’s own filmmaking (practical / philosophical)
  5. Deconstruction: participants are encouraged to bring their current projects in development and discuss them

Tin Dirdamal Bio

Self-taught filmmaker and unorthodox editor- known for being able to edit “impossible films.” Born 165 kilometers south of the US-Mexico border with formal studies in engineering. He measures the success of his films by how much of himself he’s able to abandon in the process. Also self-taught in psychology and architecture, his most useful tools are doubt and contradiction.

An advocate of plagiarism and a great ignorant of world affairs. He believes that lies can be an instrument to approach truth. It takes him on average 5.5555 years to complete his own films. He knows how to find underground water and until recently he had never read a book in his life. He is convinced he can document the future and has attempted this numerous times, failing thus far.

He directs, produces, acts, writes, does camera and sound, composes music, edits, and designs the sound for his own films. At 22 years old he grabbed a camera for the first time in his life and made his first accidental and feature length film that won him the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival. Films he’s edited and directed have been shown and awarded at some of the most

important art venues and film festivals around the world, including: Venice Biennale, Sundance, Visions du Reél, IDFA, DOCNY, FICUNAM, Ji.hlava, Ann Arbor, DokuFest… He has received grants from Sundance Institute, Tribeca Film Institute and Rockefeller Media Artists.

A mentor at heart, he seeks that which is authentic and raw. He has been invited several times to mentor and advise projects at UnionDocs' (New York) summer program. He is a returning mentor of the DocuLab program at the Guadalajara Film Festival in Mexico. He held an experimental film program and was one of the creators of the ‘Hanoi Dogma’ at DocLab Hanoi in Vietnam. He was invited to open a film school and design a curriculum at the Rwandan School of Creative

Arts and Music. He has been invited to give workshops and masterclasses at UCLA, YALE, NYU, and UMASS. He’s been part of the dok.incubator program as an editor. He has advised and edited films from praiseworthy filmmakers such as Eva Valiño, Laura Haby, Ben Guez, Efthymia Zymvragaki and Việt Vũ.

He lives in places with the understanding he will soon abandon them. He has lived for prolonged periods of his life in Arizona, Bolivia, the South and North of Mexico, Vietnam, Turkey, Albania, Rwanda and currently in Nepal. If he had to choose between becoming more or becoming less; between being someone or becoming no one, he would choose the latter in both cases.
