Cimatheque – Alternative Film Centre is now accepting applications for its Color Grading Workshop, which will take place from December 5th to December 17th, 2015. Up to 12 participants will be selected to take part in a two-week intensive workshop providing them with an artistic and technical insight into the main stages of color grading, through theoretical lessons and practical training.

This programme is targeted at colorists, cinematographers, editors and VFX specialists. It will be mentored by Jorge Piquer Rodriguez (Spain/Belgium).

The workshop aims at giving its participants the skills to apply their creative visions while using modern technologies, through three phases: 
- An introduction to the basics of color grading (contrast, gamma, matching shots and creating looks and styles).
- Working on participants’ projects, applying primary and secondary adjustments for the final look.

The workshop requires availability of 8 hours daily, and will be conducted in English.
