SUMMARY:Scriptwriting For Working With Non-Professional Actors
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a workshop on scriptwriting and working with non-professional actors in non-fiction films. FSC fellows Khary Jones\, Karthik Pandian\, and Dominga Sotomayor\, together with visiting filmmaker Adirley Queirós\, will show excerpts of their films and talk about how they use writing in particular ways in their work. The conventions of scriptwriting are almost exclusively centered around the idea of writing for fiction\, but when you start filming\, you’re in a different place\, a site for an encounter with the real and with the people you film. We will discuss why writing for hybrid works and how to write a film to let reality and chaos in\, do away with your script\, and start over the first day of shooting. We will focus on writing for hybrid works between fiction and documentary and how writing can be integrated when working in non-fiction films and with non-professional actors. An open conversation prompted by the questions introduced by the filmmakers will follow. \nKhary Jones engages film projects that explore the tensions between fiction\, memory\, and everyday life.  His films and collaborations have screened at Sundance\, SXSW\, MoMA\, CIFF\, Full Frame\, ICA Boston\, and many other festivals and venues.  As a writer-director\, his work includes the short films Hug\, Three and a Half Thoughts\, Chrysalis\, and the forthcoming feature-length films Night Fight and Gumbo. Khary studied at Columbia University (MA\, MFA) and Morehouse College (BA)\, and he is currently a Professor of the Practice in Drama and Film at Tufts University where he teaches storytelling for the screen and advises students developing both scripted and documentary projects from inception to edit. \nKarthik Pandian is an artist who works in films\, exhibitions\, and public interventions to unsettle the ground of history. He uses moving image\, sculpture\, and performance to render the mythologies of the present through forgotten\, fragmentary\, and futuristic pasts. Karthik has held solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art; Bétonsalon\, Paris; and Midway Contemporary Art\, Minneapolis amongst others. Pandian is currently at work on a feature film – Lucid Decapitation – supported by a 2022 Creative Capital Award as well as a public performance in St. Paul produced in collaboration with Mike Forcia and Midway Contemporary Art. He teaches in the Department of Art\, Film\, and Visual Studies at Harvard University. \nAdirley Queirós is a filmmaker from Brazil. His latest film\, Dry Ground Burning\, premiered at the Berlinale Forum in February 2022\, won the Grand Prix at Cinema du Reel\, as well as the main awards at Indielisboa\, Athens Film Festival\, Dokufest\, among others\, and is now being shown at TIFF and the NYFF in North America\, where it will be distributed by Grasshopper Films. Adirley has previously written\, produced and directed three other features\, all shot in Ceilândia\, the periphery of Brasilia where he is from and lives: Once it was Brasilia\, The City is One Only?\, and White Out Black In. \nDominga Sotomayor is a film director\, writer\, and producer born in Santiago de Chile. Her first feature film Thursday till Sunday (2012) was developed at the Cannes Cinéfondation Residence\, and won the Tiger Award in the 41º Rotterdam Film Festival. For Too Late To Die Young(2018) she became the first woman to receive the Leopard for Best Direction at 71º Locarno Film Festival. Dominga is also one of the founders of the production company CINESTACIóN and artistic director at CCC\, Centro de Cine y Creación\, a new arthouse cinema and center in Santiago de Chile. \nOpen to FSC fellows and CMP students

SUMMARY:Filmmaking from the Archive: A Conversation with filmmaker Leandro Listorti and archivist Amy Sloper
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a conversation between filmmaker Leandro Listorti and Harvard Film Archive collections archivist Amy Sloper. Listorti will discuss his most recent film\, Herbaria which\, through the use of both archival and current footage\, explores parallel worlds of cinema and plants.

SUMMARY:Screening: "Three Summers" with Filmmaker and FSC-Radcliffe Fellow Sandra Kogut
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an evening with filmmaker and Radcliffe-FSC Fellow Sandra Kogut. Sandra will be screening her film Three Summers followed by a discussion with Joana Pimenta\, Filmmaker and Interim Director of the Film Study Center. \n6:00pm Reception\n6:30pm Film and Discussion \nThree Summers (Brazil/France\, 2019\, 94 min. Portuguese with English subtitles) \nEvery December\, between Christmas and New Year\, Edgar and Marta host a lavish family celebration at their luxurious summer house by the beach. In 2015 all seemed well\, despite some tense phone calls and a guest wearing an ankle monitor. In 2016 the annual party was abruptly canceled. In 2017\, their lives were turned upside down. What happens to the invisible people living in the orbit of the rich and powerful when these lives collapse? Through the gaze of an employee and a forgotten elderly father\, both victims of the neoliberal nightmare\, we see a portrait of contemporary Brazil just before the tragedy of 2018. The signs were all there\, but we didn’t know how to read them. \nSandra Kogut is a Brazilian film director who works in and between France\, US\, and Brazil. Her award-winning feature-length fiction and documentary films have premiered at Festivals such as Cannes\, Toronto\, and Berlin\, among others. She is currently a Fellow at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute. \nJoana Pimenta is a Portuguese filmmaker\, currently working in the United States and Brazil. She teaches at the Department of Art\, Film\, and Visual Studies at Harvard University. Her latest film\, Dry Ground Burning\, co-directed with Adirley Queirós\, has premiered at the 72nd Berlinale\, and won the Grand Prix at Cinéma du Réel. \nA limited number of Harvard affiliates can register to participate in this in-person film screening. Pre-registration recommended.\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/film-screening-three-summers-interview-with-the-director-sandra-kogut-tickets-311871344587 \nPresented in collaboration with The David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS).

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Morgan Quaintance
DESCRIPTION:Morgan Quaintance will be sharing three of his shorts\, that effortlessly reassemble idiosyncratic connections between our past and our present through rich archival material and astute writing. \nAfter nearly a decade writing texts\, critical in both approach and importance\, that examine the sociopolitical entanglements of UK contemporary art\, Morgan Quaintance started working in moving images through a series of acclaimed experimental film essays in 2018. Since then\, his films have been well-received at top festivals (NYFF Currents\, IFFR) and awarded prizes across a wide swath of festivals\, from CPH:DOX and Punto de Vista to the Tacoma Film Festival. In this program\, the FSC is presenting a selection of the filmmaker’s most recent works\, which further develop his practice making linkages between the past and present\, tracing aesthetic and political similarities across different spaces and movements\, and positioning the personal as a necessary and additive lens to the discursive. These three short films assemble and reassemble interests across the cultural spectrum\, from the “death gaze” of yellow journalism to very personal medical imagery\, and connected by clever\, occasionally cheeky\, and always incisive writing that makes ample use of written and spoken text. Amid the increasing prominence of essay films at major documentary and experimental film festivals around the world\, Quaintance’s work is vital. \nTaking two anti-racist and anti-authoritarian liberation movements in South London and Chicago’s South Side as a point of departure\, South (2020) presents an expressionistic investigation of the power of individual and collective voice. Interlinked with Morgan Quaintance’s own biography (time spent living in both London and Chicago)\, the film also considers questions of mortality and the will to transcend a world typified by concrete relations. \nIn Surviving You\, Always (2020)\, the transcendental promise of psychedelic drugs contrasts with a concrete and violent experience of metropolitan living. These two opposing realities form the backdrop for an adolescent encounter told through still images and written narration. \nA Human Certainty (2021) follows the neurotic ramblings of a death-obsessed romantic in the throes of post-breakup blues. The autoimmune condition of St. Lidwina\, the tabloid street photographer Weegee\, and the filmmaker’s own spiritualist grandmother all come together to reflect on a particularly painful day at the beach. \nMorgan Quaintance is a London-based artist and writer. His moving image work has been shown and exhibited widely at festivals and institutions including: MOMA\, New York; Mcevoy Foundaton for the Arts\, San Francisco; Konsthall C\, Sweden; David Dale\, Glasgow; European Media Art Festival\, Germany; Alchemy Film and Arts Festival\, Scotland; Images Festival\, Toronto; International Film Festival Rotterdam; and Third Horizon Film Festival\, Miami. \nHe is the recipient of the 2021 Best Documentary Short Film Award at Tacoma Film Festival\, USA; the Explora Award at Curtocircuito International Film Festival\, Santiago de Compostela; UK Short Film Award at Open City Documentary Film Festival\, London\, the Jean Vigo Prize for Best Director at Punto de Vista\, Spain\, and the 2021 Best Experimental Film Award at Curtas Vila do Conde\, Portugal\, all for the film Surviving You\, Always (2021); the 2020 New Vision Award at CPH:DOX\, Denmark and the 2020 Best Experimental Film award at Curtas Vila Do Conde\, Portugal \, both for the film South (2020) . \nOver the past ten years\, his critically incisive writings on contemporary art\, aesthetics\, and their socio-political contexts\, have featured in publications including Art Monthly\, the Wire\, and the Guardian\, and helped shape the landscape of discourse and debate in the UK. Quaintance’s films are distributed by LUX\, London. \nCo-sponsored with The DocYard \nThis event is open to the Harvard Community.

SUMMARY:Visiting Artist Talk with Moyra Davey and Screening of “i confess”
DESCRIPTION:Moyra Davey’s work comprises the fields of photography\, video and writing. Trained in photographic and moving image practices throughout the 1980s\, Davey became a mother in 1996\, prompting her to edit the collection Mother Reader: Essential Writings on Motherhood (2001)\, a survey of texts on creative life and maternal ambivalence. Subsequent to this period of research\, non-fiction writing in tandem with video\, took on greater significance in Davey’s artistic work. Since 2005 she has produced six narrative videos\, including the Les Goddesses trilogy\, focusing on the imagined\, intersecting lives of the female British Romantics\, and those of her five sisters; and i confess\, an essayistic work anchored by the emergent themes of race\, poverty\, and language in twentieth century Quebec. Davey took a hiatus from photography in 2003\, but resumed making still images six years later\, almost by accident\, when a gallery’s invitation to participate in an exhibition from afar\, prompted her to fold and mail photographs. This method of treating the photograph as a “giant postcard” enabled a new approach to the image\, and soon became a staple of Davey’s practice. She has authored numerous books\, most recently an essay collection\, Index Cards (2020)\, and The Shabbiness of Beauty (2021)\, in collaboration with the estate of Peter Hujar. Davey has exhibited widely\, and has participated in the Whitney/São Paulo/Montreal and Toronto Biennials\, as well as documenta-14 in Athens and Kassel. Her artworks are held in numerous public collections\, including MoMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York\, The Reina Sofia\, Madrid\, and Tate Modern\, London. A survey of her videos will be presented at MoMA\, NY in 2022. Davey is a 2020 John S. Guggenheim Fellow.

SUMMARY:McMillan-Stewart Fellow Flora Gomes at Harvard
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker and McMillan-Stewart fellow Flora Gomes will be visiting Harvard from March 23-30\, 2022\, for a series of screenings\, classroom visits\, and events with students and fellows. A retrospective of his films will screen at the Harvard Film Archive with Gomes in person at several of the events.  \nHarvard Film Archive Screenings:\nMarch 24\, 7pm: My Voice\nMarch 25\, 7pm: Mortu Nega *\nMarch 26\, 7pm: O Regresso de Amilcar Cabral & The Blue Eyes of Yonta *\nMarch 27\, 7pm: Tree of Blood *\nApril 2\, 3pm: The Children’s Republic\nApril 3\, 7pm: The Blue Eyes of Yonta \n* Flora Gomes in person \nMcMillan-Stewart Fellowship announcement: \nThe Film Study Center and the Harvard Film Archive are pleased to announce that the pioneering Bissau-Guinean director Flora Gomes has been selected as the 2021-22 McMillan-Stewart Fellow in Distinguished Filmmaking. Inspired by his early life under Portuguese colonial rule and by the thought and example of liberation leader Amilcar Cabral\, Gomes forged a powerful brand of revolutionary filmmaking that seeks to undo the imperialist narrative and give genuine voice to people and subjects that have long been ignored and oppressed. \nGomes’ time as a student of legendary Cuban filmmaker Santiago Alavarez\, and as assistant to Chris Marker\, were vital experiences that fed his early militant documentaries and his breakthrough film\, Mortu Negra [Death Denied] (1988)\, a powerful retelling of the 1973 Guinea-Bissau war for independence through the eyes of a young woman who joins her husband on the battlefield. A sober reconsideration of the cost of war and the bitter struggles that follow victory\, Mortu Negra is a complex and milestone film that also pays tribute to the resilience of African women. Gomes’ subsequent films include the acclaimed The Blue Eyes of Yonta (1992)\, a tender study of the post-independence generation\, and his spellbinding masterwork Tree of Blood (1996)\, a fable-like film that enters deep into the realm of legend and myth. Gomes’ more recent films and works in progress extend his project to chronicle the still ongoing anti-imperialist struggle and to make legible the dynamics of power and oppression at work across the African continent. \nThe McMillan-Stewart Fellowship in Distinguished Filmmaking was established at the Film Study Center in 1997 with a generous gift from Geneviève McMillan in memory of her late friend\, Reba Stewart\, to support outstanding filmmakers from Africa or the African diaspora. The endowment provides both a fellowship for the laureate\, through which they visit Harvard and share their work with the University community\, and also for the purchase of a representative example of the fellow’s oeuvre for preservation in the Harvard Film Archive. The McMillan-Stewart Advisory Committee for 2021-22 is comprised of Mahen Bonetti\, Haden Guest\, Dieudo Hamadi\, Joana Pimenta\, and Aboubakar Sanogo.

SUMMARY:Screening: "La Libertad" with Curator Cecilia Barrionuevo
DESCRIPTION:Cecilia Barrionuevo\, Artistic Director of Argentina’s Mar del Plata Film Festival\, will introduce a screening of La Libertad by Lisandro Alonso\, former Radcliffe-FSC fellow. \nLA LIBERTAD\nLisandro Alonso\, 2001\, Argentina\, 73 minutes\nLisandro Alonso’s landmark feature debut\, based on months of closely observing its subject’s routines\, follows a day in the life of Misael\, a young woodcutter in the Argentinean pampas. Using long takes that are at once uninflected and hyper-attentive\, La Libertad chronicles the stark facts and repetitive actions of Misael’s largely solitary existence: he searches for trees and chops wood\, pauses to defecate or eat\, prepares and transports the logs for sale\, returns to his camp to build a fire and cook his dinner. The title crystallizes a question about this man’s life: is the cyclical daily grind a burden or a kind of freedom? Or does the title refer to Alonso’s conception of an anti-dramatic\, materialist cinema\, absolutely in-the-moment and liberated from the traditional confines of fiction and documentary? “An account of everyday work that transforms the banal into poetry\, maybe even myth\,” James Quandt wrote of La Libertad\, named one of the top 10 films of the past decade in Cinema Scope magazine. An NYFF39 selection. (Film at Lincoln Center)\n  \nCECILIA BARRIONUEVO\nArtistic Director of the Mar del Plata International Film Festival and a permanent member of the Festival’s programming team since 2010\, Cecilla has also collaborated as a guest film programmer at the Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires\, Sala Lugones at the San Martín Theater\, Cortópolis Festival\, La Casa Encendida in Madrid\, the International Film Festival of Uruguay\, Museum of Contemporary Art of Buenos Aires\, Neighboring Scenes – The Films Society of Lincoln Center\, Antofacine.

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Nadav Lapid
DESCRIPTION:The Film Study Center is excited to welcome celebrated Israeli writer-director Nadav Lapid. \nNadav Lapid makes intensely personal\, cunningly political\, and propulsive films brimming with an energy often mirrored by his lead characters. Ahed’s Knee\, his fourth feature and co-winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes\, is arguably his most radical film yet — one steeped in torment and angst with irrepressible moments of despairing romanticism emanating from Y\, an obvious alter ego to Lapid. \nPlayed with fierce physicality by choreographer Avshalom Pollak\, Y is a filmmaker and artist who\, in the midst of casting for a project inspired by real-life Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi\, receives an invitation to present one of his films in a small town in the arid Arava Valley. There he is met by vast desert expanses — which he films on his phone and sends to his ailing mother — and his host\, Yahalom (Nur Fibak)\, a passionate admirer of his work who arranged the screening in her role as deputy director of the Ministry of Culture’s library department. The two instantly engage in a physical and intellectual game of cat and mouse\, but when Y is asked to sign a waiver declaring that he will stick to government-sanctioned topics in his introductory address\, he cannot contain his indignation at the Ministry’s censorious agenda and the ills behind it. \nA formally brazen and\, at times\, purposefully assaultive work that questions an artist’s moral imperative to resist cultural and political oppression and state-backed propaganda\, Ahed’s Knee pulls no punches. It feverishly and viscerally confronts residual trauma that festers like an open wound in a cycle of violence\, in which the oppressed becomes the oppressor. Lapid’s film enacts a manifesto-like gesture that demands a response — and silence is not an option. — Andrea Picard\, TIFF \n  \nOct. 26\, 12pm and 6pm: Screening of Ahed’s Knee (2021\, 110 min.)\nNov. 1\, 3pm: NfW with Nadav Lapid (via Zoom)

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Payal Kapadia
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to co-sponsor with the DocYard a special screening and visit with filmmaker Payal Kapadia. \nPayal Kapadia’s latest film A Night of Knowing Nothing will screen at the DocYard on Monday\, Oct. 4 followed by a Q&A over Skype. The following evening Payal will visit the Film Study Center’s Nonfiction Workshop at 5:30pm (over Zoom) for a discussion about her films. If you are interested in attending and are not currently an FSC fellow (we are only able to accommodate a limited number of participants) kindly email FSC’s program coordinator Cozette Russell (cerussell@fas.harvard.edu). \nABOUT THE FILM \nStarting with a beautifully accomplished trilogy of short films\, Mumbai-based filmmaker Payal Kapadia has developed a bold hybrid cinema that seamlessly combines fiction and nonfiction techniques. In A Night of Knowing Nothing\, her first feature\, Kapadia’s vision continues in fearless\, rigorous\, and utterly astonishing form—and was justly rewarded with the documentary Golden Eye prize at Cannes 2021. The film’s story comprises a series of love letters found in a cupboard at a film school\, from a student who is separated from her lover and thus writing and saving them for his return. As the letters are read aloud by an actor\, the visual material that bolsters the narrative is comprised of beautiful 16mm footage that Kapadia and collaborator Ranabir Das (the film’s cinematographer and editor) recorded of their friends\, and their friends’ own videos\, starting in 2017. All of the crisp diegetic recordings\, voiceover narration\, and images merge and flow into each other effortlessly\, setting up the context for even those unfamiliar with India’s present and presenting an oneiric telling of personal and societal responsibility. In this way\, the story of one student’s relationship becomes a larger story about the life of university students more broadly\, told with great urgency\, especially once the film advances to its titular night. (AS) \nWorld Premiere and L’Œil d’or\, le prix du documentaire winner at 2021 Cannes. Closing Night at 2021 FIDMarseille. Official Selection of 2021 TIFF Wavelengths and 2021 NYFF Currents and winner of the Cinematic Vision Award at Camden International Film Festival this past weekend where the film had its US Premiere. \nABOUT THE FILMMAKER \nPayal Kapadia is a Mumbai-based filmmaker and artist. She studied Film Direction at the Film & Television Institute of India. Her short films Afternoon Clouds and And What Is The Summer Saying premiered respectively at the Cinéfondation and Berlinale. She is a Berlinale Talents alumna and participated in 2019 at the Cinéfondation – Residence in du Festival de Cannes. \nHer first feature-length film A Night of Knowing Nothing was selected for Director’s Fortnight\, Cannes 2021 where it won the Golden Eye Prize for Best Documentary. Her next project\, All We Imagine as Light\, which received support from CICLIC\, Hubert Bals Fund\, and PJLF Arts Fund\, is currently in development.

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Elizabeth A. Povinelli
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted that critical theorist and filmmaker Elizabeth A. Povinelli will join us to discuss a program of her films. Her writing has focused on developing a critical theory of late settler liberalism that would support an anthropology of the otherwise. This potential theory has unfolded across five books\, numerous essays\, and thirty-five years of collaboration with her Indigenous colleagues in north Australia\, including\, most recently\, six films they have created as members of the Karrabing Film Collective. Ahead of her visit\, we will watch The Inheritance and Day in the Life. \nThe Inheritance Alice Henry Ink\, 2021\, 80 min.\nIn the late 1960s and early 1970s\, little Elizabeth Povinelli struggles to understand the meanings of her Alpine inheritance hidden in the rich-hued ridges of a framed image hanging in her family’s home and expressed in the sudden flashes of anger and deep pockets of melancholia that pool round it\, only to discover the source of her inheritance is not in the past but in the present racial and colonial infrastructures that surround her in the US. \nDay in the Life Karrabing Film Collective\, 2020\, 32 min.\nDay in the Life explores the ordinary obstacles Indigenous families face as they move through an ordinary day. Across five chapters–Breakfast\, Playtime\, Lunch Break\, Cocktail Hour\, and Dinner Time–and an audioscape directed by its younger members\, DIL is a visual and sonic landscape that dramatizes and satirizes the settler forms of governance and extractive capitalism that Karrabing members encounter over the course of a day. \nThis event will be presented remotely over Zoom. The FSC will circulate links to the films in advance to watch on our own\, and then we will get together online to have a conversation about the work. We have limited capacity regarding the number of participants we can accommodate\, so if you are interested in attending (and are not currently an FSC fellow or CMP student)\, please email Cozette Russell at cerussell@fas.harvard.edu.

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Beatriz Santiago Muñoz
DESCRIPTION:Puerto Rican filmmaker Beatriz Santiago Muñoz will join us to discuss a program of her films. In her work in film and video\, “the uncontrived\, observational style of her art aligns it with the sensibility of documentary film while also blurring the boundaries between fact and fiction. Despite its ostensible simplicity\, Santiago Muñoz’s work stems from intensive research\, observation\, and documentation\, and she is deeply concerned with the tension between the documentarian’s desire for truth and the artist’s aesthetic concerns. For her\, the camera as a tool that can both reveal and fabricate reality.” (Guggenheim) \nBeatriz Santiago Muñoz is an artist whose expanded moving image work is entangled with Boalian theater\, experimental ethnography and expanded cinema. She tends to work with non-actors\, and incorporate improvisation into her process. Her recent work is on the sensorial unconscious of anti-colonial movements\, on hurricanes and dreamwork\, and irrational projection lenses. Recent solo exhibitions include: Gosila\, Der Tank\, Basel; Nuevos Materiales\, Museo Amparo; Safehouse\, Sullivan Galleries\, A Universe of Fragile Mirrors\, PAMM\, Miami; Song Strategy Sign\, New Museum; La Cabeza Mató a Todos\, TEORética\, San José\, Costa Rica; MATRULLA\, Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros\, México D.F. Recent group exhibitions include: Whitney Biennial 2017\, NYC; Prospect 4\, New Orleans; 8th Contour Biennale\, Mechelen. Under the Same Sun: Art from Latin America Today\, Guggenheim Museum\, NYC. In 2017 she received the Tiffany Comfort Foundation Grant\, she was 2016 USA Ford Fellow and received a 2015 Creative Capital visual artist grant. \nThis spring\, the FSC will be hosting (remotely) a series of visiting filmmakers as part of our Nonfiction Workshop. Invited filmmakers will circulate links to their films in advance so that we can watch them on our own\, and we will get together as a group to have a conversation about their work.

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Ernst Karel and Veronika Kusumaryati
DESCRIPTION:The FSC is excited to kick off the spring semester of Nonfiction Workshops with a project and makers deeply connected to the history of the FSC: Ernst Karel and Veronika Kusumaryati will be with us to discuss their film/sound work Expedition Content. \nExpedition Content\n2020\, DCP\, 78 minutes \nIn 1961\, filmmaker Robert Gardner organized the Harvard Peabody Expedition to Netherlands New Guinea (current day West Papua). Funded by the Dutch colonial government and private donations\, and consisting of several of the wealthiest members of American society wielding 16mm film cameras\, still photographic cameras\, reel-to-reel tape recorders\, and a microphone\, the expedition settled for five months in the Baliem Valley\, among the Hubula (also known as Dani) people. It resulted in Gardner’s highly influential film Dead Birds\, two books of photographs\, Peter Matthiessen’s book Under the Mountain Wall\, and two ethnographic monographs. Michael Rockefeller\, a fourth-generation member of the Rockefeller (Standard Oil) family\, was tasked with taking pictures and recording sound in and around the Hubula world. Expedition Content is an augmented sound work composed from the archive’s 37 hours of tape which document the strange encounter between the expedition and the Hubula people. The piece reflects on intertwined and complex historical moments in the development of approaches to multimodal anthropology\, in the lives of the Hubula and of Michael\, and in the ongoing history of colonialism in West Papua. \nThis spring\, the FSC will be hosting (remotely) a series of visiting filmmakers as part of our Nonfiction Workshop. Invited filmmakers will circulate links to their films in advance so that we can watch them on our own\, and we will get together as a group to have a conversation about their work.

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Hassen Ferhani
DESCRIPTION:Hassen Ferhani was born in Algiers in 1986. In 2006\, he directed his first film Les Baies d’Alger. He took part in l’Université d’été at La Fémis and co-directed Afric Hotel (2011). Later on\, he made Tarzan\, Don Quichotte et nous (2013)\, which was presented at Visions du Réel\, FIDMarseille and Locarno\, and which had already reflected his interest in documentary bordering on fiction. Roundabout in My Head (2015)\, shot in slaugtherhouses in Algiers\, was his first feature. In 2015 he was awarded a McMillan-Stewart Fellowship in Distinguished Filmmaking from the Film Study Center. \n143 rue du désert (2019)\n104 min. \nPreviously\, a slaughterhouse opened up the heart of Algiers to the world (Roundabout in My Head\, 2015). Now\, the manager of a small shop in the Sahara offers a place of peace − though maybe not an oasis\, what with the sand wiping out even the colors in this documentary Western. A closed off chamber\, an observation spot or a theater stage: such is the versatility of a filmmaking device that Ferhani – and therein lies his talent − never seems to be satisfied with\, always being ready to embrace the unexpected. – Antoine Thirion\, Locarno Film Festival\, Concorso Cineasti del presente. \nThis Fall\, the FSC will be hosting (remotely) a series of visiting filmmakers as part of our Nonfiction Workshop.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Distribution as Praxis: Conversation and Brainstorming with Sentient.Art.Film’s Keisha Knight
DESCRIPTION:The reverberations of the “Men and Nations” style of knowledge-making privileges systems of extraction and erasure. In focusing only on the genius of the artist and the artist’s art object we often neglect the channels that allow visions to flow\, or not flow\, as the case may be. We need artists with vision to continue to push us to imagine and feel more than we think possible but we also need channel-makers and channel-tenders who clear the weeds and create the relational networks that circulate and nurture the artists’ work in ways that challenge inherited systems of extraction with an aim to create more just and robust environments for artists\, subjects\, and the public. Imagination is power and needs the proper support to fully realize its collective potential. \nThrough personal anecdotes\, case studies\, and group discussion this workshop will explore distribution as a means through which to renegotiate fossilized systems of extractive exchange. We will discuss the nuts-and-bolts realities of the film distribution landscape as it currently exists and think together about what transformative interventions are possible. \nKeisha Nicole Knight is a graduate student in Art\, Film\, and Visual Studies and Director of Sentient.Art.Film a collectively and curatorially focused distribution initiative committed to expanding the field of the cinematic imagination. Sentient.Art.Film was founded in 2018 and has worked with films such as “August at Akiko’s\,” “No Data Plan\,” “Island of the Hungry Ghosts\,” “In My Blood It Runs\,” and “So Pretty.” \nThis workshop is limited to 20. Priority is given to CMP students and FSC fellows. Kindly RSVP and a Zoom link will be sent before the event. \n

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Indigenous Cinemas in Brazil: Concepts and Effects of Self-Representation
DESCRIPTION:Filmmakers Patricia Ferreira and Alberto Alvares Guarani\, and the writer and indigenous leader Ailton Krenak\, will be joining us at the FSC for the screening and discussion “Indigenous Cinemas in Brazil\,” programmed by Junia Torres. \nJunia Torres (film programmer\, coordinator for forumdoc.bh) will present a program of films by indigenous filmmakers\, focusing on Brazil. Joining Torres will be a panel including filmmakers Patricia Ferreira and Alberto Alvares Guarani\, and the writer and indigenous leader Ailton Krenak. \nThis program will explore the concept and the effects of self-representation through films by indigenous filmmakers. We will discuss a filmmaking history that spans more than three decades\, focusing on how the introduction and appropriation of cinematic language across different ethnicities supported the struggle of indigenous peoples to strengthen their identities and their territorial and cultural patrimony\, through a form of production that was shared by the diverse indigenous peoples. Today\, most indigenous filmmakers work autonomously\, away from outside structures\, to conceive\, film\, and edit. These filmmakers have reconfigured the contemporary documentary movement in Brazil. (Junia Torres) \nCo-sponsored with the Center for Visual Anthropology at the University of Southern California. \nThis Fall\, the FSC will be hosting (remotely) a series of visiting filmmakers as part of our Nonfiction Workshop.

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Camilo Restrepo
DESCRIPTION:This Fall\, the FSC will be hosting (remotely) a series of visiting filmmakers as part of our Nonfiction Workshop. Invited filmmakers will circulate links to their films in advance so that we can watch them on our own\, and we will get together as a group to have a conversation about their work. As many of these works are in progress or yet to be released theatrically\, we have limited capacity in terms of the number of participants we are able to accommodate. If you are interested in attending (and are not currently a FSC fellow)\, please email Cozette Russell \nCamilo Restrepo (1975\, Colombia) has lived and worked in Paris since 1999. He is a member of L’Abominable\, an artist-run film laboratory. His films have been selected in festivals including Toronto and New York and won the Silver Leopard prize at Locarno International Film Festival twice\, for his films Impression of a War (2015) and Cilaos (2016). \nLos Conductos (2020)\n70 min. \nPinky is on the run. At night the empty streets smell of the apocalypse and the city seems to be on fire. Narcotics swirl through the veins and the air. Having freed himself from the clutches of a sect led by a certain “padre” and determined to take his fate into his own hands\, he is now holed up in an illegal T-shirt factory\, surrounded by paints\, slogans and heat presses. Pinky is looking for the light at the end of the tunnel\, but ghosts are breathing down his neck. He is running for his life\, and Colombia is on fire. But Colombia is alive. After his highly promising short films\, Camilo Restrepo has now made a debut feature that is as visionary\, physical and elastic as the 16mm celluloid on which it was shot. The deeper Los Conductors dives into the nightmarish and the hallucinatory\, the tougher\, more political and hungrier for reality the film becomes. In a narrative downward spiral\, it conveys with the utmost precision the survival instincts of a character who is unwittingly fighting to liberate an entire country\, perhaps even a continent. Restrepo uses the medium of cinema to transform an allegorical exploration of one’s roots into an irrepressible desire to change the world. – Berlinale Encounters\, 70th International Film Festival Berlin

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Hassen Ferhani [CANCELED]
DESCRIPTION:[CANCELED] \nHassen Ferhani was born in Algiers in 1986. In 2006\, he directed his first film Les Baies d’Alger. He took part in l’Université d’été at La Fémis and co-directed Afric Hotel (2011). Later on\, he made Tarzan\, Don Quichotte et nous (2013)\, which was presented at Visions du Réel\, FIDMarseille and Locarno\, and which had already reflected his interest in documentary bordering on fiction. Roundabout in My Head (2015)\, shot in slaugtherhouses in Algiers\, was his first feature. In 2015 he was awarded a McMillan-Stewart Fellowship in Distinguished Filmmaking from the Film Study Center. \n143 rue du désert (2019)\n104 min. \nPreviously\, a slaughterhouse opened up the heart of Algiers to the world (Roundabout in My Head\, 2015). Now\, the manager of a small shop in the Sahara offers a place of peace − though maybe not an oasis\, what with the sand wiping out even the colors in this documentary Western. A closed off chamber\, an observation spot or a theater stage: such is the versatility of a filmmaking device that Ferhani – and therein lies his talent − never seems to be satisfied with\, always being ready to embrace the unexpected. – Antoine Thirion\, Locarno Film Festival\, Concorso Cineasti del presente

SUMMARY:Krabi\, 2562 with directors Anocha Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers [CANCELED]
DESCRIPTION:[CANCELED] \nKrabi\, 2562\nAnocha Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers in Person \nThailand\, United Kingdom\, 2019\nThai\, English\n94 minutes \nAn innovative exploration of the Thai tourist community\, Anocha Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers’ visually elegant and conceptually creative documentary is an ambitious reflection on time\, place\, and memory. \nCreative documentary and cinematic realism are at the core of Krabi\, 2562\, a luminous\, elegantly playful work on the power images have to represent and manipulate a personal universe of collective memories and to inspire social awareness. \nCo-conceived and directed by festival favourites Anocha Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers\, two distinctive voices from different cultures and traditions who nevertheless share a similarly generous vision of the world\, Krabi\, 2562 is an elaboration of themes and ideas investigated in the duo’s 2018 installation for the first Thai Biennale. In the film’s narrative and visual space the Holocene\, the recent past\, and present day (2562 being the current year in the Thai Buddhist calendar) coexist in southern Thailand’s Krabi region and its quietly beautiful landscapes — paradises soon to be lost forever in the contamination of rampant consumerism and invasive tourism. \nAs a woman — who has a propulsive\, changing identity — guides viewers through Krabi’s history\, folklore\, and iconic sites\, the film’s hybrid structure merges fiction\, interviews\, and oral tradition into a fluid experience\, as placid as it is trippy. In one instance\, a prehistoric couple exists alongside Krabi’s many international tourists and commercial film crews\, going about their mundane daily life oblivious to the millennia that have passed. \nShot on Super 16 by Rivers and cinematographer Leung Ming Kai\, the film lingers on the quiet pace of omnipresent nature\, ever-changing light\, and the inhabitants who strangely\, though also naturally\, are suspended within a vast time continuum — including that of memory. \nGIOVANNA FULVI\, Toronto Film Festival

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Roberto Minervini
DESCRIPTION:Photographer\, filmmaker and music producer Roberto Minervini (1970\, Italy) is a US-based film director\, writer and lecturer. He holds a Master in Media Studies from the New School University in New York. His Stop the Pounding Heart (2013) was screened in Rotterdam and Cannes. The Other Side (2015) was screened in the Un Certain Regard competition at Cannes. His documentary What You Gonna Do When the World’s on Fire? (2018) screened in the main competition section of the 75th Venice International Film Festival.\n \nWhat You Gonna Do When the World’s on Fire? (2018)\n123 min.\n \nMinervini’s follow-up to his Texas Trilogy is a portrait of African-Americans in New Orleans struggling to maintain their unique cultural identity and to find social justice. Shot in very sharp black and white\, the film is focused on Judy\, trying to keep her family afloat and save her bar before it’s snapped up by speculators; Ronaldo and Titus\, two brothers growing up surrounded by violence and with a father in jail; Kevin\, trying to keep the glorious local traditions of the Mardi Gras Indians alive; and the local Black Panthers\, trying to stand up against a new\, deadly wave of racism. This is a passionately urgent and strangely lyrical film experience. – Film at Lincoln Center
