Talk 1: Rites and Beliefs

2021

A series of talks to further investigate the needs to tell a story, the personal points of view and approaches to do so through the contemporary scene of medium length and short film creation.

Saturday, 17 April at 14:00
After being restricted to ethnographic cinema for a long time, the recording of rituals and their survival continues to challenge people’s ability to give meaning to traditions that seem to be acts of low-level resistance to the augmented reality of the contemporary world.
