followed by a combined filmmaking and film music workshop in December 2023, both held in Romania in collaboration with Sapientia University in Cluj. The next phase involved further work on film editing and music in Hungary, during workshops organized in April 2024 in collaboration with the Mediawave Film and Music Festival. These workshops culminated in a work-in-progress test screening for a professional audience of filmmakers and musicians to gather expert feedback. A similar workshop with another test screening was planned a month later in partnership with the Transylvania International Film Festival, alongside film music recording workshops held with Sapientia University. In August, the project was set to host film music workshops, filmmaking masterclasses, and a work-in-progress cine-concert at our festival. This marked the culmination of the creative process and the start of final revisions, leading to completion in September in Correns. The film and culture masterclass, the photo exhibition featuring cyanotype prints of stills and behind-the-scenes photos, the film music workshops, and the work-in-progress test screening of this unique silent film with live musical accompaniment perfectly aligned with the festival's spirit of fostering innovative and creative artistic endeavours. The audience's enthusiastic reception confirmed that the creators had achieved their goal: to deliver a total artistic experience that would leave a lasting impression. rd So, the already described film screening on the 3 of August was preceded by very active workshops and events during the days of the Ördögkatlan. 1. Film and culture masterclass A film and culture masterclass with film screenings took place in the so-called "Hunchback Cinema" of the Beremendi Blacksmith's Workshop, in a real retro cinema, with project leader Róbert Lakatos and directors Zsófia Makkai and Gyopár Buzási. Important issues such as the use of analogue techniques, the specificities of silent film acting, and the roots of the Dracula story in Transylvanian folklore were discussed. The program aims, among other things, to clarify the misconceptions surrounding the Dracula myth, showing the real ethnographic intellectual values behind them. 169
