15:00 - 18:00: Writing the rules/instructions for shooting the diary film (in total 2 black and white cartridges). The group needs to define an order for the shooting (who will be first, second, third, etc) and then each participant should think of a rule for shooting a sequence. All the rules should be written down as in the form of a Manifesto. This will be the script fort the black and white diary. After this, each participant should think of a scene and write it down. The scene will be shot individually but can include others. It should incorporate the rule that is given by the previous participant. Everyone takes charge of the Super 8 Camera once to record a scene (Black and white cartridge) following the rules prepared before. The idea is to build a correspondence through film about the militant body. The person before will give instructions to the next person that has to respond to it in their sequence and so on. The last one will give instructions to the first one, and thus the circle is closed.
+ Continuation of embroidery workshop + reading for the ones not shooting.
