Workshop: Modern Nostalgia - Reimagining handmade cinema

Modern Nostalgia: Reimagining handmade cinema for a new generation Facilitator: Quentin C. KrogPanel: Janine Neethling, Hunter Kennedy, Jannes Hendrikz, Zandré Coetzer, Sulet Meintjes In an age of digital perfection, the most radical creative choice can be to reach back. This workshop explores the distinctive creative philosophy behind Silas en die Ysbeer op Tafelberg, where practical puppetry, painted skies, analogue instrumentation and contemporary visual effects were woven together not in competition, but in conversation. The result is a distinctly South African fantasy world that feels tactile, emotionally charged and timeless. Paired with a screening of the film, this workshop demonstrates why craft, instinct and imagination remain the most powerful tools in any filmmaker's kit.
