African Encounters meets DOK.forum

Are collaborative efforts the future of filmmaking? | DOK.forum Perspectives Talk

DOK.forum is delighted to come together with African Encounters to have an interactive session that puts the focus on collaboration in documentary filmmaking. What value does (intercultural) co-creation add to the filming process and the film itself? And what does co-creation mean for co-production? Guest filmmakers will enter into a dialogue with the participants and report on their experiences.
