The Program
On the one hand, the SILBERSALZ Institute consists of the closed workshops, in which the participants are exclusively supervised and supported by experts and mentors. In addition, there are master classes, consisting of online lectures by renowned industry representatives. These are recorded and then made available to the public digitally.
The program starts online, collaborating with media professionals from a range of creative disciplines to identify the ideal format for your research: could it become a film, a game, a performance, an art- work or an immersive experience? This early concept is then presented to the creative community at special events during
Pariscience in Paris and during EXPERIMENTA, la Biennale, with MC2, where we match you with a media collaborator to create a production team that will develop the concept further along with experts across the three Institute strands: Documentary Film, Games & Interactive and Arts & Culture.
