Critique Workshop: Eldorado and To Return

The participants will view the films Eldorado by Markus Imhoof (2018, Switzerland, Germany) and To Return by David Fedele (2018, Australia). They will examine the specifics of the documentary film and discuss the manipulations of perceived reality and compare, the two different approaches to the topic of migration. The participant will write short texts about both films and reflect upon different views of the films, as well as the political implications of the films. We will discuss whether the films speak for the migrants, are they able to speak for themselves and why this matters.

 

Later on, the participants will write their own short reviews of the films, und the guidance of film critic Petra Meterc. Their texts will be assembled in a combined reflexion which will be published on the web page of the Festival of Migrant Film.

 

The workshop will take place in the afternoons during the festival, on June 18^th, 19^th and 20^th in Kinodvor – City Cinema Cafe and Slovenian Cinematheque Cafe.
