POWERS OF THE FALSEInstitut Francais & Cine Lumiere, London
May 18-19th 2012
When and for what reason is forgery and deception conceptually motivated, even ethically necessary? This two-day programme of screenings and panels addresses the complex ethics of the manipulation of real people and events in documentary, fact-fiction hybrid cinema and artists’ moving image. Inspired by philosopher Gilles Deleuze’s term, the symposium will bring together filmmakers and academic speakers to explore filmmaking as a coercive agency.
Keynote presentation by Stella Bruzzi
Closing Film: DREAMS OF A LIFE followed by Q&A with director CAROL MORLEY and LIBBY SAXTON (QMW)
