Waiting for the Film To Begin, originally uploaded by bill kralovec.
It was an electric atmosphere last night at the Rex Center Gallery as the Grade 10 Visual Arts Class premiered their feature length digital film, “Troya.” There was over 100 people in attendance to view the project put together by co-directors, Grade 10 student Lucia and Visual Arts Teacher Ms. Natasa Skoric.
The students learned much about the tremendous amount of work and time that goes into making a movie. The class did the entire process, from writing the screen play, casting, costumes and sets, film editing, etc. It was special to see them very excited at their appearances in the film. The movie is a comedy based on the Trojan War. The ancient Greek history is put into a more modern teenage context.
This is the kind of project that sets apart the teaching and learning at the International School of Belgrade from other schools. We strive to take all of the students’ interests and activities to their highest level. The art and film students had the opportunity to work with professionals, using their latest technology, and then displaying their project in one of the premier galleries in the city. It was also great to see so many teachers, parents, students, and Belgraders together sharing in the success of the students. I would like to thank Natasa for her monumental effort and dedication towards the students of ISB.
