How to Represent Documentary in Media
Documentaries and Their Critical Approaches
This event is in Hungarian only.
Hogyan írjunk filmkritikát dokumentumfilmről, amelynek szereplői hús-vér emberek? Szükséges-e különbséget tenni a filmek között a kritikai műfajban, csupán azért, mert a dokumentumfilmekben nem fiktív karakterek állnak a középpontban? Kerekasztal-beszélgetésünk keretében újságírók, filmkritikusok és filmkészítők osztják meg gondolataikat arról, hogyan érdemes bánni a dokumentumfilmmel, a filmesekkel és a szereplőkkel a kritikákban. A program nyitott diskurzusra ad lehetőséget, ahol a paneltagok mellett a szakmai közönséget is szeretnénk megszólítani.
Kinek ajánljuk?
Filmes újságíróknak és filmeseknek első sorban, de külső érdeklődőket is várunk a programra!
