Michael Renov: The Compilation Film (English)
Keynote by a prominent American documentary film theorist and documentary animator (especially the travelling conference Visible Evidence), whose main areas of interest include film autobiography, activism and video art, but also the representation of history, especially the Holocaust. In his work, he explores the relationship between fiction and truth and advocates a pedagogical approach emphasizing epistemology and ethics. In his paper, he will discuss the compilation of films from media archives in relation to the history of the genre and its connections to remix media culture.
Entry without reservation with a valid festival accreditation. The capacity of the venue is limited.
