Istanbul Express Filmmaking Workshop

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

3 Trains, 24 Cities, 10920 km of railway

Istanbul Express: Exploring Multilingualism across Europe is a filmmaking workshop aiming to explore common issues about languages. Participants aged 18 – 30 will answer these questions in a stimulating atmosphere, far away from clichés and preconceived ideas. They will meet locals from stopover cities, travellers in the train.

Film crews will meet in Tallinn (Estonia), San Sebastian (Spain) and Turin (Italy) on the 20th of September, starting the journey and finally arriving Istanbul on the 10th of October. The trains will travel through Europe and stopping at the following cities:
- Tallinn / Helsinki / Turku / Stockholm / Berlin / Prague / Bratislava / Bucharest / Istanbul
- San Sebastian / Paris / Brussels / Amsterdam / Essen / Vienna / Budapest / Sofia / Istanbul
- Turin / Ljubljana / Zagreb / Pecs / Belgrad / Skopje / Thessaloniki / Istanbul

Multilingualism and traveling are main themes this year for NISI MASA! Exactly the themes defining our new Euro-generation! Follow NISI MASA for our new projects including linguistics and exploring different geographies!

The world premiere of the films shot and edited during the project, will be made in Istanbul, the European Capital of Culture in 2010, with a series of events including screenings, panels, parties, meetings.

Food, drinks, film, Music – Gastro-Visual Weekend

Friday, July 31st, 2009

All that your eyes and mouth desire (or something along these lines)

The Budapest Odeon-Lloyd Cinema, with the co-operation of Nisi Masa, Védegylet (Protect the Future!) Tudatos Vásárlók Egyesülete (Conscientious Consumers Association) and Daazo have organized a two-day-long gastro-visual series called Food, Drinks, Film, Music, between 31 July and 1 August.

We’ll await you with film screenings, talks, a spritzer-bar, wine- and food tastings. Events will give you an insight into the Hungarian and international wine scene and provide you with loads of interesting facts about the history and culture of Hungarian cult drinks.

Food-lovers can meet the Freegan and the Slow Food movements, as well as the most popular gastro-bloggers. You can also participate in talks on the different areas of the countryside and our hardly-known fruit and vegetable varieties.

Screenings will offer you more gastronomical delicacies, such as rarely screened short- and feature films on the wonderful, often shocking and new world of food and wine. The films of Matter of Taste project (organized by Nisi Masa and Daazo) will be screened as well.

And to make this weekend a really light but still substantial summer event, we await you with continuous food and drink promotions at the buffet of the cinema and with the pleasant tunes of Dj InstabiL.
