Teaching & Collaboration

These sessions are designed for Film Studies, Film Practice, Screen Studies, Visual Culture and interdisciplinary programmes. The aim is to create encounters between filmmaking practice and academic research, and to give students new tools for thinking about how films are conceived, analysed and experienced. 

Cinema does not only represent the world.

It organises our perception of it.

My lectures and conversations explore cinema from the perspective of a practising filmmaker: not only as a form of storytelling, but as a way of organising perception. Developed through filmmaking and artistic research, these sessions create a dialogue between cinematic practice, film analysis and new methodological approaches. They can take the form of guest lectures, seminars, workshops or longer teaching programmes, and can be adapted to undergraduate, postgraduate and practice-based research contexts.

ORGANIC MOTION - Cinema as an Organisation of Perception.

How does a film transform the spectator's perception from its beginning to its end?

Organic Motion approaches the film as a perceptual body, in which camera, sound, space, rhythm, editing and performance interact and evolve over time.

Sessions can introduce the theoretical foundations of Organic Motion, explore its application to existing films, or engage students directly with its practical methodology.

A central component is the Perceptual Density Profile (PDP), a developing analytical and creative tool for mapping the perceptual architecture of a film.

PRACTICING ORGANIC MOTION - From Film Analysis to Cinematic Design.

How can questions of perception become practical filmmaking decisions?

Through film analysis and practical exercises, students explore how camera movement, framing, sound, space, rhythm, repetition and silence can construct a perceptual evolution. The objective is not to teach a particular visual style, but to encourage students to think about the relationship between form, perception and dramaturgy. Organic Motion can be introduced through a single lecture or developed through seminars, workshops and longer teaching formats.

CINEMA, PLACE & PERCEPTION - How Places Shape Films

A location is never simply a background. Architecture, landscape, light, sound, history and movement influence the way a film can be imagined and experienced. These conversations explore the relationship between place, perception and cinematic practice, drawing on filmmaking experience and artistic research. They invite students to consider not only how filmmakers represent places, but how places themselves can transform cinematic form.
