Document 11 Boris Mitiec Masterclass
Sat 19 October 2013
Boris Mitiec Masterclass
The only dedicated international human rights documentary festival in Scotland returns for its eleventh outing with a host of exciting screenings, panels, workshops, music and events. Taking place at CCA from Fri 18 to Sun 20 October, this year's programme focuses on reflection and tension between the past and present.
Join Boris Mitic - a renowned Serbian documentary filmmaker, lecturer and satirical columnist, and an old friend of the Document Festival - for this special event. His films have received 18 awards, played at over 150 festivals worldwide, and been broadcast in 47 countries. His new project, a documentary about Nothing, will be filmed globally by a mixture of all-star cinematographers and his former students. Boris is also a member of the International Jury for Document 11.
Post-ideological storytelling is the ultimate level of documentary filmmaking, one that transcends current cultural, political, ethical and aesthetical practices and gives documentary filmmakers a rare opportunity to introduce a breath of fresh air in the rhetorical pollution that surrounds us. Using counter-examples and tentative guidelines, this lecture tries to define this new type of discourse.
Thinking of joining us for several events? Get yourself a Document 11 Festival Pass for the whole weekend for £20 (£10 unwaged) by visiting Box Office or calling 0141 352 4900. You can also pick up a Day Pass for £10 (£5 unwaged) for a day of your choice (weekend/day pass holders must still book in advance for screenings/events to be guaranteed a place).
As always, all events are free for asylum seekers and refugees.
