DocStudio Emotional Realism in Observational Documentary
Partner: barStudio
How can documentary filmmaking move beyond recording events, and move towards representing feelings? Culture writer, critic, and film curator Murtada Elfadl joins directors Michał Marczak (“Closure”) and Alain Arnaud (“The Hidden Face of the Earth”) to discuss the process of finding emotional truths while observing documentary protagonists. The conversation will consider how observational documentary can move beyond mere recording of reality to reveal not just what happens, but how it is felt — foregrounding emotions and the inner lives of its characters.
