The ending lunch at the UVIC grounds. Sunny at last, and the salads were great!

So, last Friday Alicia, Emilija, Iiro, Einari and I came back to chilly Finland from Vic, Spain, where we had taken part in the DobleCLICK! of the UVIC University. Oh, what a party there was that Thursday night! And oh, how content I was of not having attended the party myself, when I saw the pale faces of our students next morning, in the train due to Barcelona airport.

We had hamburgers in this bar before the final party

We had an even more pleasant surprise when the winners of the competition were announced: A film made by TAMK Film&TV students called BAD GAME won the main prize - and a thousand euros! Iiro rose from the audience and went to receive the diploma as a representative of our school. He even got interviewed afterwards, and everybody seemed to think he was the director of the film.

In reality, the film Bad Game was the result of last year's 48 hours filmmaking event, and the students in the project group were in four different continents at the time of the shootings. So Marja Pihlaja, who belongs to the group, told me next Monday 25.3. when I gave her the award diploma and the cheque. Marja also told me that the film didn't have an actual director, and her own role had been the producer.

I wanted to post a link here, in case you want to see the Bad Game film, but I haven't found it anywhere in the Internet. So instead, I'll put an image here of what I saw at a local shop in Vic:

Today we had our 2nd day of the DobleCLICK! happening at the University of Vic, Spain, starting with a workshop held by 3 students, called Creativity in Reverse. Alicia and Emilija first had some trouble finding an idea for their task, but then they saw some buns in the snack room and came up with a Star Wars theme.

The other teachers and myself were not totally lazy while the students from our different universities were giving lectures and workshops: we gave some mentoring for the UVIC students' projects, and attended the presentation given by Albert van Der Kooij from the Academy of Pop Culture, Hanzehogeschool Groningen.

In the afternoon, our Film&TV guys Iiro Holopainen & Einari Paasirova gave a fine workshop on Scandinavian directors.

What about our first day, Tuesday the 19th of March? Well, there were many student workshops then as well, and somehow we also had time to do a city tour and a very nice afternoon pique-nique near the university campus.

„Lying halfway between the sea and the Pyrenees and sixty kilometers from Barcelona, Vic is the demographic, administrative and service centre for an area with 150.000 inhabitants. It's rich history, visible in the streets and squares of the old quarter, forms the backdrop to the dynamism of a modern diverse city.“, a quote from University of VIC.

During the 30th and 31st of March, a team of staff and students paid a visit to the beautiful Spanish town of Vic, just a few clicks north of Barcelona. The reason was to attend the 2nd annual event of DobleClick, a European inter-university audio visual workshop. The workshops, or "Clickshows" were led by students and ex-students from the participating universities. TAMK was represented by the wonderful Mr Robert Niva who discussed marketing student projects. The recent "Ice Screen Project" was showcased (on a lovely hot spring day) by Mr Antti Kareinen and Mr Neil Hopkins.

The DobleClick-festival of University UVic was organised internationally for the first time this year, as a bunch of TTVO-students headed towards Barcelona and the town of Vic to change experiences with the university. The three-day festival consisted of not only screenings of both of the schools' films, but also of workshops given by students.
