MASTER CLASS: KOOLHOVEN’S CHOICE STEVEN SPIELBERG including the screening of 1 film
Film director Martin Koolhoven shares his passion for Steven Spielberg. He walks us through the films that were important to him and why these films were (and are!) so important in film history. He explains how some scenes made such an impression on him, and he puts himself in the role of the director: why did the director choose this approach and how does it affect our experience of the film? This Master Class will be in English. Martin Koolhoven: “With more than $10 billion in box office receipts, Steven Spielberg is the most successful director of all time. However, there is also a lot to be said about this filmmaker artistically. Anyway, in my early teens he was a star in a way that usually only actors are. As with Hitchcock and later Tarantino, a new movie of his was: “the new Spielberg,” no matter who else was in it. This played an important role in my process of understanding how movies were made. I will talk more about that this evening by going through and discussing my favorite Spielberg movies and scenes. From the period when I discovered Spielberg comes Poltergeist, the movie he officially only produced, but where everything shows that his influence went much further than normal fora producer. Anyone who sees the movie will think more of Spielberg than of the other work of director To be Hooper. Why this is, I will explain in the introduction. Poltergeist is in everything a typical Spielberg movie, with a dead-normal family getting into a special (and scary)situation.

WORKSHOP STORYTELLING MARTIN KOOLHOVEN
Storytelling is a popular word, but what does it really mean? Storytelling is about how you communicate a message. When you tell a message as a story, people remember it. But how do I tell a story? What exactly is a story? What does a story need to satisfy? In short, when is a story a story? These seem like simple questions, but do you know the answer? Should there be drama, plot, emotion? And why is it important to have these kinds of ingredients if you want to get a message across? For example, within the organization in which you work, or to customers.
In Storytelling, Martin Koolhoven explains, partly by means of movie clips, which characteristics a story has to fulfill in order to leave a lasting impression. Every task, project or organization needs a story. For employees, customers or the public. Storytelling is crucial in any business process. For organizations that want to make their communication more effective.
