Overview

Composed of films that push the boundaries of form and content, this series will explore emerging practices in documentary cinema. Nine feature-length documentaries and a night of short films across ten weeks focusing on hybrid and unconventional storytelling. An opportunity for cinephiles and those whose interests are piqued to engage with internationally acclaimed documentaries and filmmakers operating at the intersection of art, sociology, anthropology, and urbanism.

This course is connected to the Spring ’18 elective course ‘ACTION! On the Real City – Record, Edit: Langstrasse’
