In a special location in the French Lower Vosges, we offer multi-day workshops and courses between April and October. It is a place where distance happens naturally — from the hustle and bustle, from the everyday.
In an old sanatorium, surrounded by its own forest and a stream, you can immerse yourself in a rare combination of natural beauty and tranquility. Here, the rhythm slows down. Space is created to look, listen, and create — with focus, concentration, and time.
When you feel it’s time to pause and look again. Read more and step into this world.
safed stories
A focused film week about ownership, memory, and visibility.
Not everything needs to be shared. In an era where images circulate instantly and memories are increasingly turned into content, Safed Stories asks a different question: what happens when a story consciously remains private?
Safed Stories is a five-day analog work week where participants visualize a personal experience, memory, or moment through photography and film.
Almost everyone has an idea for a film or series. But an idea often stays stuck in words — in a notebook, a folder on your laptop, or a conversation at the kitchen table.
Cinepitch is an intensive, five-day residency at Sanaruska in France where you translate your idea into visuals. You arrive with a concept. You leave with a professional pitch film of 1 to 2 minutes.
