Part 1: ‹Three authors - three visions›

In their documentaries, Manu Bonmariage, Molly Dineen and Peter Entell succeed in establishing a breathtaking intimacy with their protagonists, regularly garnering prizes at film festivals worldwide. The distinctive signature of their films has much to do with the fact that they do most of the camera work themselves. The course offers detailed insight into the working methods of these three successful filmmakers. On the basis of a film screened in the evening, they will each spend the following day reporting on their work and how they deal with the camera.

The course is designed to offer participants concrete and practical inspiration for their own work as filmmakers.
