Documenta Madrid is an international film festival dedicated exclusively to documentary film. Its offices are located in the capital of Spain and it is organized by the City of Madrid. It is presently the city's most widely-attended festival.
The festival was born for the purpose of strengthening and disseminating the documentary genre, in so far as it understood to be a reflection of the social, cultural, economic, artistic, environmental, and other realities that exist in the world. A total of 58 films have been selected to participate in the Official Competitive Sections of Documenta Madrid 12, which will be celebrated from the 4th to the 13th of May.
PROGRAMME
MASTER CLASS RICHARD DINDO
The Swiss filmmaker Richard Dindo is one of the most interesting biographers in recent documentary filmmaking. Halfway between political and poetic film, Dindo started his interest in cinema with the figure of the intellectual, someone who plays a role in, and makes a commitment to, the society in which he lives.With the theoretical assumptions of May 68 close at heart, the director has always chosen to make films that focus on the vanquished, the oppressed, the downtrodden; not only does he provide a portrait but he also identifies with their defeats, which are, in short, shared by everyone.From out of a narrative construction that conceives of the subject being filmed as an "object of memory", Richard Dindo will reveal the keys to his documentary filmmaking in this master class. By using the past as an indispensible reference point, the filmmaker will explain how a watchful gaze and critical spirit allow a "memory composer" to create an indispensible balance between text and word, in an aesthetic symbiosis that has led him to try to found an art of biography-making through such key films as Arthur Rimbaud, une biographie (1991), Ernesto «Che» Guevara: le journal de Bolivie (1994) and Gauguin à Tahiti et aux Marquises (2010). CALLING INFORMATION Date: Thursday, May10 Time: 7:30pm Place: Cineteca. Sala Azcona Length: One hour and a half, approximately. With simultaneous translation. Free admission with advance registration (until full capacity). Limited placesRegister at aapp@documentamadrid.com (Indicate in the email subject heading: Richard Dindo Master Class). To gain access to this activity, you must present at the box office the registration confirmation that the festival management will issue once the request is made. Registration Deadline: Wednesday May 9
MASTER CLASS JEAN-HENRI MEUNIER One of Jean-Henri Meunier's major films is the triptych the French filmmaker shot in a village in Aveyron called Najac. Through a humor-filled and poetic chronicle about the townsfolk, the director provides us fragments of life in which the act of sharing and openness are very present. By getting close with his characters, he takes an approach with a unique and generous view toward human relations, the art of living together. In this master class, conceived as a dialogue with the audience members, Meunier will expound on his perception of the "cinema of the real" and his own method of work and directing. Documentary filmmaking is conceived of as work that approaches reality through the eyes and imagination of the director, so every film has its own subjective point of view that he or she will attempt to analyze and explain. Through a talk on that topic, as well as on obtaining funding, the preproduction, the shooting of the film and the film's editing and screening, Jean-Henri Meunier will provide us his vision on the metamorphosis that the emergence of new technologies has brought about in the documentary world. With everything, the director will reveal how the choice of subject matter and personal commitment continue to be the constants in the creation of a film, some of the keys that define him as a generous and humanist filmmaker.
