Dear cinephiles and young filmmakers, YARAT Contemporary Art Space has a nice surprise for those of you who wish to pursue a career in film industry!
YARAT Film club is launching a series of talks and workshops that by prominent directors, script writers, actors and producers.
Starting from this month we will be hosting workshops by local and international experts, and the series will open on February 6 with a workshop by a film and theatre director Ilgar Safat.


Workshop title is “Cinema that reflects the spirit of time”. Safat’s workshop will take you on a journey through the history of world cinema.

How did cinematography evolve through the last century? What are some topics that directors and writers were concerned with in the past and what are some themes that are hot today?

We will try to understand why cinematography has a strong connection to the time it is born in and why cinema renews itself every decade.
