Alto Studio Tuscany Offering Scholarships for Non-Profit Study Abroad Program | No Film School

To create balance in film this year, Alto Studio Tuscany is placing a special emphasis on emerging women filmmakers for an intensive film, video and photography program in Lucca, Italy at the UNESCO World Heritage site.

Are you an emerging filmmaker looking to not only hone your filmmaking chops? In addition to digital video the program is also introducing 16mm film to learn how to shoot and hand process their work in traditional chemicals as well as experiment with green tea. (Does that sound awesome or what!)

Alto Studio Tuscany

Some people have a list of things to do before they die, and coming to Tuscany will teach you not just how to be a filmmaker, but how to live. The Alto Studio Tuscany Summer Arts Study in Italy is an intensive Film/Video/Photography program during which the participants will make films.

In addition to Digital Video we introduced 16mm film to our students who shot and hand processed their work in traditional chemicals as well as an experimental roll processed in Green Tea. It looks great!

A Once in a Lifetime Experience

In prior years, the program has gone to Bologna to tour the Cinetech di Bologna, a major film restoration facility. This year we’ll travel for a wild night in Pisa for the Luminara [Festival of Lights]!

Upon the completion of the five-week program, a group show/opening and a night of screenings of all Alt Studio Work will take place in Lucca. Following our return to the United States, the student’s work will be exhibited in New York in October 2019.

What's the Hype With 'Interstellar' Revisiting Cinemas After a Decade in 70mm IMAX?

Here's Why You Need to Revisit 'Interstellar' in 70mm IMAX

Celebrate the love and hope at the center of Nolan's space epic in the format it was meant to be seen.

If we know anything about Christopher Nolan, he likes to go big. Nolan started with smaller-scale stories (as many of us do) with early noir adjacent works like Following, Memento, and Insomnia, then started going and staying big with his illusionist drama The Prestige. Since then, the scale has been various degrees of massive, with the biggest scope in his time-and-space sprawling epic, Interstellar.

While Interstellarmight not be everyone's favorite Nolan outing, there's no denying it's an impressive feat of filmmaking and his most emotional—if watching Matthew McConaughey's Cooper desperately try to reach his family through quantum space-time doesn't make you cry at least a little bit, what's going on, dude?

With Interstellar'sIMAX release, it's a great time to shed some tears in a public setting in one of the most prestigious film formats around. As we mentioned in our film gauge piece, Nolan loves shooting on film and utilizes 65mm intentionally to provoke a tone of massive scale. In that regard, Interstellar was made for 70mm IMAX. That goes without saying, dawg. That being said, other factors make Interstellar a perfect movie to revisit in theaters while you can.

Let's break down the release further below.
