The well-known director Mike Figgis has come to Tirana as part of the British cultural week.<\/p>\n
On the evening of September 17, at the “Agimi” art center, a masterclass was held by Figgis, the purpose of which was to promote the transfer of knowledge between the film industry in the United Kingdom and the Albanian one.<\/p>\n
In front of the art lovers, for about an hour the director gave a lecture on the construction and techniques of the film, while he did not hesitate to talk about his personal life.<\/p>\n
“My knowledge, my experience are related to cinema. My goal is to inform as much as possible for filmmakers interested in the film. For a year and a half I have been in America, Atlanta, Georgia and I have explained how a film is made,” said Figgis.<\/p>\n
Among other things, he told how he started his journey, and the challenges he faced to realize the director’s dream.<\/p>\n
“I went to a festival in my country to see a movie. I saw another director making a film. I applied to a music college. Maybe it was that I was an improviser. So I was in the driving position. I admired every orchestra, I met a lot of very interesting jazz musicians, but the classical side of it was a bit of a challenge for me, and I never learned to play the instruments,” he continued.<\/p>\n
Mike Figgis is a British director who made his feature debut with Stormy Monday in 1988.<\/p>\n
Figgis directed the Hollywood thriller Internal Affairs, Oscar Leaving Las Vegas and the experimental split-screen drama Time Code.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
