Apply now for 2014 Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts

How to tell a story? Aspects of this question will be discussed and practised in four of the 21 courses at this year's Summer Academy programme.

Paolo Woods is convinced that photography has a language of its own. This means that to photograph successfully you have to learn and master this language – its vocabulary and grammar, of course, and its history, inevitably. But more than ever today, any photographic work becomes interesting and necessary if the images are charged with a narrative. In this course you will learn how to look for stories and how to narrate them.
Duration: 21 July–2 August 2014
Fee: € 680.- (reduced: € 520.-)

In Sarnath Banerjee's course, you will learn how to construct the special 'third meaning' of a story that emerges between text and image when these are combined. Normally, text and images produce their individual meaning in different ways, but together – as in comics and graphic novels – they create meanings that neither can achieve alone.
Duration: 4–16 August 2014
Fee: € 680.- (reduced: € 520.-)

cinéma copains (Arne Hector/Minze Tummescheit) will work with analogue film material. The filmed material will be developed manually in the dark-room. In the ensuing montage the emphasis will be on the relation between image and sound. This will not be a purely formal exercise, however; film will be understood as a means of communication, and used for personal or political narratives.
Duration: 4–16 August 2014
Fee: € 680.- (reduced: € 520.-)

Duration: 11–30 August 2014
Fee: € 920.- (reduced: € 680.-)
