Masterclass with director Hans Petter Moland

Internationally acclaimed Norwegian arthouse cinema director Hans Petter Moland titles his masterclass with a quote by Oscar Wild. During his masterclass, the director, winning this year’s Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution at Berlin International Film Festival, will share his creative journey in filmmaking, by challenging you to tell your story from the inside out in a visual language. As his latest film "Out Stealing Horses" ("Ut og stjæle hester", 2019), being screened at this year Scanorama, was also shot in Lithuania, he will discuss Lithuanian filmmaking specifics as well as share tips to the artistic mastery. The event is being held in English, free of charge and open to current and aspiring film professionals.
