23 April
10:30 - 12:00
Musée du Léman
Free without reservation
Discussion in English
Many films document a disappearance. It is, in fact, one of the classic purposes of the documentary: to preserve traces before it is too late, to record a reality at the moment of its collapse. Rarer are those that engage with the multiple transitions of the present, occupying a liminal space shared by filmmakers and their characters. How can one weave a film-chrysalis that embraces the transformations of those who inhabit it?
Speakers:
Almourad Aldeeb (dir. If Only the Year Had 364 Days)
Lisa Mazenauer (dir. The Right to Forget)
Faezeh Nikoozad (dir. In Between, a Place)
G. Anthony Svatek (dir. Humboldt USA)
