      • July 2023, Segovia, Spain

        For our second Wandering Cinema Film Retreat we traveled to Hoyuelos, Spain to an atmospheric remote house where The Spirit of the Beehive was filmed! Our visitors filmmakers were Blerta Basholli from Kosovo and Giacomo Abbruzzese from Italy, and we were lucky enough to get a sneak peak of the latter’s debut feature, Disco Boy. We again had a very diverse group of participants, this year from three different countries and spanning decades in age and experience. The synergy, creativity, and bonds were immediate and meaningful. We continued the traditions of a 16mm Bolex-shot Exquisite Corpse film, cocktails by the pool, impromptu pitch sessions, amazing dinners, morning meditation, and late-night screenings. What ambience, friendships, cinematic celebration, and creative energy!

      • June 2022, the Italian Alps

        For the first ever Wandering Cinema Film Retreat we traveled to an old farm in Carpasio, Liguria, in the Maritime Alps of Italy, where the mountains meet the sea near the French border. Our visiting filmmakers were Agnieszka Smoczyńska from Poland and Ali Vatansever from Turkey. Participants came from five countries, spanned four decades in age, and found inspiration and delight in their connections with one another. The group shot an Exquisite Corpse film on 16mm on a Bolex camera (we express shipped the film to Belgium for development and watched our film together on the last night) and spent their days in workshops, eating and drinking, meditating, swimming and hiking.
