MASTERCLASS: Producing creative independent documentary films in a European context

1.4.2022. / 12h // Dom omladine Beograda

Why and how to produce films with a cultural and even political aspiration, in a context dominated by the ideology of the free market and by the increasing value of the economic and commercial results. Why it seems better to resist to this tendency and how the development phase is so relevant in the process of making a documentary, from an artistic and productive point of view, for the decisions to be made, consistency with an editorial line and with the poetics of the author. What steps have to be taken to protect and give visibility and recognition to this type of cinema.

Case history: the film Selfie by Agostino Ferrente.
