African Cinema Conference presents... WORKSHOP ONE: STORYTELLING: FORMS AND FORMATS
> > How have recent technological changes affected the way people make documentaries?With the advent of smaller, versatile cameras it is now cheaper to shoot and easier to acquire more material and gain intimate access previously unattainable. But does this mean we are making better films? How can the filmmaker use digital technology to improve their storytelling skills? > > Speaker: Peter Wintonick (Canadian documentary producer / director including Manufacturing Consent and Seeing is Believing) > > Johannesburg: 9 am - 12.30 pm, Thursday 31 July 2003 > > National Electronic Media Institute of SA (NEMISA), 21 Girton Road Parktown > > WORKSHOP TWO: STORYTELLING: EXPLORING IDENTITY > > Central to the creation of a South African film industry is an understanding of local 'identity'. Documentary films are a means to explore what it is to be South African, a more immediate starting point for developing the skills of our storytellers. It is important that we create storytelling styles that are at once unique and that refer to South African storytelling traditions and aesthetics, and are still accessible to international audiences. > > Speakers: Archie Baron (Filmmaker, Takeaway Media, and director of Motherland, UK) Mark Anderson (subject of the film Motherland, UK) Dumisani Phakati (Filmmaker, SA) Dr. Rae Vally (Anthropology Dept.
