Outside Perspectives, Intimate Stories

Who Has the Right to Tell Them?

The discussion centers on the filmmaker’s personal connection to the subject in documentary filmmaking. In the industry, a longstanding question is: how closely does a director need to engage with the community they are portraying, and to what extent should they be involved with the subject matter? For example, can a European director create an authentic film about a South American tribe? Can a heterosexual filmmaker genuinely capture LGBTQ+ stories if they are not part of that community? Led by writer and screenwriter Krisztián Marton, creator of Crybaby, this roundtable brings together filmmakers to share their thoughts and experiences.

Who do we recommend it for?
For anyone who considers the topic of personal involvement important. The discussion will be in English!
