As part of the Cambridge African Film Festival, a special seminar is being held on Thursday 27 November with Algerian director, Jean-Pierre Lledo, who will speak about the ethics of documentary filmmaking.
Focusing on issues arising in his films regarding repressed aspects of Algerian history, Lledo will examine questions of honesty, manipulation and the power relations between the filmmaker and their subjects. Illustrated through clips from his body of work, he will explore the ways in which such ethical questions are complicated by the filmmaker’s personal investment in his themes, and by the films’ opposition to official discourses.
The seminar is convened by the Cambridge African Film Festival in conjunction with the Cambridge Film Trust, the University of Cambridge’s Trinity College and the Screen Media Research Seminar.
Lledo’s documentary trilogy will be screening at the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 November.
