The Once and The Future of The Documentary

The Once and The Future of The Documentary
Workshop hosted by 19th AWFF and Sher-Gil Sundaram Arts Foundation

The oversaturated media landscape we inhabit is both a provocation and an invitation to deconstruct ways in which images are produced, circulated and consumed. How are images produced? How are they circulated? Should they be archived? What and who is the collective if we think about personal and public images produced and archived?

Filmmakers, archivists and independent groups working with the moving image came together in this workshop. Participants, including independent filmmakers, video and media collectives, presented their material and discussed the challenges of putting their work in the public domain.

Madhusree Dutta (filmmaker & curator) delivered the Opening Address.

Mai Masri (filmmaker from Lebanon) spoke about her work.
