2005. In the winter of Berlin. I was there. The glitz and glamour of the red carpet. The hundreds of filmmakers, writers, composers, actors and sound designers I meet in this short but memorable event. It was a privilege.
It is in this 3rd Berlinale Talent Campus, organised by the Berlin International Film Festival, that I had the luxury to attend master classes conducted by some of the most revered icons of the film industry in 2005.
Celebrated cinematographer Chris Doyle (Chungking Express, 2046, Hero) gives an awesome seminar on 'Painting with the Camera'. It was one of the most inspiring lectures. Chris talks about his working relationship with Wong Kar Wai (Happy Together), Penek (Last Life), Zhang Yimou (Hero), Fruit Chan (Dumplings) and his experience shooting stars like Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi and Bai Ling. So cheeky, yet full of heart.
This maverick will charm you with his passion for photography and his understanding of light, colour, space, movement and time. If i remember correctly, he even edited a video of his mistakes for us, fans/students to see and learn, and know that even masters make mistakes they cannot forgive themselves for.
Emi Wada, renowned costume designer (Ran, Hero) in a forum about sets, costumes and production design. She was a young up-start when she worked with Akira Kurosawa for Ran, but went on to be a legend in her own right.
Sir Ridley Scott. (Director of Alien, Blade Runner, Hannibal, Gladiator) An enlightening master class detailing his experience on the set of Kingdom of Heaven, his sci-fi horror magnum opus, Alien, and how conversations about how he was a fan of George Lucas' Star Wars.
Japanese Actor Asano Tadanobu (Ichi the Killer, Zatoichi, Last Life in The Universe) in 'The Birth of Cool' seminar.
I managed to get him to autograph my Ichi the Killer DVD.
