Genres Across Time: The rise of key genres, such as noir, science fiction, and musicals, and their social significance.

Auteur Theory: In-depth analysis of iconic directors whose works have defined and challenged cinematic norms.

Global Perspectives: Exploration of world cinema, including Asian, African, and Latin American contributions to the art form.

Cinema as Social Commentary: Films as responses to historical moments, such as wars, revolutions, and cultural shifts.

By tracing the interplay between filmmaking and historical events, students will gain a deeper appreciation for the art form’s capacity to influence and be influenced by the world around it.

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

With a Master's degree from TAI School, and having taught two courses there since 2024, I now offer one-on-one tutoring to help you improve your writing and let your ideas take flight. And all in English. As an American with real-world Hollywood production experience (on films like The Neon Demon and the Oscar-winning Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), I bring not only a solid foundation in narrative and storytelling, but also practical insight into how your writing influences production, performance, and even financing.

Having lived in Spain for almost a decade has given me a global perspective on film and a deep understanding of international and cultural narrative paradigms. With three short films screened at international festivals (and a fourth premiering this year), I can confidently guide you toward stronger, clearer, and producible writing that stands out and, hopefully, comes to fruition. Not confident in your English? No problem! With extensive experience teaching the language, I'll also help you with translation (from Spanish, of course) so your writing style becomes more fluid and natural.

Get ready for creativity, giggles, and a whole lot of colorful mess! I’m starting a super fun arts & crafts class just for kids where imagination runs wild and every project feels like an adventure. We’ll paint, glue, cut, sprinkle glitter, and turn everyday ideas into awesome creations kids will be excited to show off.

This class is all about exploring, trying new things, building confidence, and having FUN while we create. No pressure to be “perfect,” just a welcoming space where little artists can express themselves, make friends, and leave with big smiles (and maybe a little paint on their sleeves 🤭).

Este seminario de 6 clases propone un recorrido profundo por la vida y la obra de Andrei Tarkovski, uno de los directores más grandes e influyentes de la historia del cine.

Clase 1: Biografía y formación
Se abordará su infancia, su crianza en un entorno católico dentro de la Unión Soviética, el contexto social y cultural de la época, su formación como estudiante de cine y sus primeras películas. El objetivo es comprender de dónde nace su mirada artística y espiritual.

Clases 2 a 6: Filmografía y lenguaje cinematográfico
Se realizará un análisis completo de su obra, siguiendo un recorrido cronológico por sus películas para identificar temas, obsesiones y transformaciones a lo largo del tiempo.
Trabajaremos su estilo y lenguaje cinematográfico:
– el tiempo y el ritmo
– las atmósferas
– la memoria
– los símbolos
– lo espiritual
– la construcción de sentido a través de la imagen

También se abordarán dos ejes fundamentales:
– la censura del Estado y su relación conflictiva con las instituciones soviéticas
– la presencia del cristianismo y la espiritualidad en su cine

El seminario está orientado al análisis narrativo, estético y simbólico, no técnico, y busca desarrollar una mirada más profunda y reflexiva sobre el cine de autor.

Está dirigido tanto a personas sin conocimientos previos como a estudiantes, realizadores y amantes del cine que quieran comprender mejor la obra de Tarkovski y su importancia en la historia del cine.

Ciao, I am Desi and I’ve been teaching Italian as a foreign language since 1988. I was born in Trento, in northern Italy, and over the years I’ve lived in Brazil, Sardegna, and now in a small village in Abruzzo. I have a degree in Italian Language and Culture for Foreigners and I’m a certified Italian teacher (DILS-PG, University of Perugia).
I’m a patient and understanding teacher, and I love introducing students to Italy beyond the usual stereotypes.
With my Italiano + Arte and Italiano + Storia programs, you can learn Italian while taking a guided journey through Italian art history and/or history. Using images, maps, and videos, we’ll explore Italy’s most fascinating events and cultural heritage, while you naturally improve your Italian.

Find your own way of expressing yourself. What motivates me is collaboration: I enjoy mentoring ideas and projects. More than a teacher, I see myself as a bridge between creative processes with a global perspective. After living and teaching in New York, Mexico City, England, and Jordan, I've developed a methodology that integrates intercultural sensitivity with filmmaking techniques, digital art, and creative writing. I also enjoy teaching English and Spanish.
