Participants will be guided through the process of authoring, structuring and designing mobile, spatially distributed narratives. Working in pairs they will explore the city of Porto to unearth one or more situated stories.

The Urban Stories workshop targets filmmakers: professionals, semi-professionals and students.

Workshop participants will have the opportunity to develop a project in user interface design and information structuring for exploring a physical location. This workshop is intended for designers, illustrators, programmers who are interested in information structure and visual design, and content producers including photographers, video artists and sound designers.

 

Open Cities, led by David Gunn and Guillermo Brown (afternoon of Oct. 14, 20€)

This workshop will operate as a collaborative recording session where participants collect sounds to be used to create a show presented by Gunn and Brown later in the festival schedule. It will be a loosely structured recording walk across a selected part of the city using mobile recording equipment.
