Thanks to a Syracuse University Innovation Fund grant, Professor Carlotta Kliemann organized a unique workshop for the students in her Comedy and Satire in Italian film class. She hired film and video editor Alessio Lavacchi to teach them theory and practice with the programs ShortCut and Premiere over 4 sessions together. The five students in the class were then tasked with creating a short film inspired by one of the genres they had studied in class. They wrote the script, shot, acted in and edited a final work titled Local Tourist, a 6-minute video shot mostly around downtown Florence.
