Searching for Truth in Documentary Storytelling Online Workshop

Date : 6th February 2022 to 6th February 2022

Place : United Kingdom, London

Website :https://life-history.lcir.co.uk/online-workshop

Contact Person:Ms Mary Wild

Description:

In this workshop, we will focus on the psychological angle in the documentary genre, examining films that deal with the tricky question of identity, the difficult search for truth, and the emergence of narrative, highlighting the discrepancies at each stage. The proposition is that in documentaries, just as in the psychoanalytic method, subjectivity is challenging to depict authentically, and depends on the willingness to relinquish strongly binding rules about the self and what we believe to be true.
