ABOUT CINERGY PRAGUE

Cinergy Prague is an educational platform for the development of the talents and knowledge of young filmmakers and film professionals through a series of discussion panels and lectures on topics related to film-making or the work of foreign guests.

​

The purpose of the project is to create a regular series of master classes, seminars, discussion workshops, and screenings organized throughout the whole year, with the aim of sharing and exchanging experience through open dialogue, improving and refining film making, educating, and broadening film knowledge. We focus on feature films and audiovisual projects. In this context, we invite producers, directors, screenwriters, cinematographers, set designers, editors, or sound designers to share their experiences. The concept of Cinergy events is draught according to the focus of individual guests. We organize masterclasses, workshops, lectures, Q&As, film analysis, and film screenings.

​

The Cinergy project was created in 2015 as a kind of continuation of the idea behind the defunct Fresh Film Fest, a festival of student films and debuts when some of the organizing team (director Radka Weiserová, programmer Michal Hogenauer and head of production Natálie Krausová) drew on contacts and experiences garnered over several years to start the new project. From now on, the project will come under a newly formed entity, a registered company named ProCine, comprising Radka Weiserová, Michal Hogenauer and Karel Spěšný and alongside the Cinergy project, its aim is organizing activities in the AV field.

Gaspar
Noé

master-class / film screening

Gaspar Noé was born in Argentina in 1963 but he has lived in Paris since he was a child. He studied at Louis Lumière College, where he already began to shine with his short fiction films. It was his 40-minute film Carne, however, that first brought him acclaim. The film was continued as a full-length feature called I Stand Alone. His work is characterized by a sense of naturalism, the epicentre of which was the anal-rape scene in the controversial film Irreversible. Noé has won numerous awards at Cannes, as well as at other prestigious events.
