On campus classes.
In this workshop we focus on exploring the documentary method as a specific strategy, one that is part of a broader cinematographic practice. Through a series of films, texts and practical exercises proposed and discussed in class, we will map some of the fundamental problems raised by the relationship that cinema establishes with reality, which is at the heart of documentary practice. In part, this mapping will be guided by the problems that participants will encounter when preparing their final task: producing a short film (with a maximum of 5 minutes) with a free theme.
