For our interview on Local Matters, Ben George Coles invited Serge Benassutti on the microphone. Serge Benassutti is a cameraman and a teacher at the BTS Cinéma et Audiovisuel and explained to Ben how aspiring filmmakers can start their career here in Luxembourg. “The BTS Cinema et Audiovisuel had always the goal of being a very practical course. You can be hands on with camera, lights, grip, equipment that would be hard or expensive to get. In Luxembourg we have the money for nice equipment. People who come from over the border, say wow, when they come to the BTS. And then, they can learn a lot at our courses. We try to approach it like a real film school, like a two year university level.”
