HYBRID VIGOUR: WHEN MUSIC, ART, AND DOCUMENTARY COLLIDE

SUNDANCE INSTITUTE in association with BRITDOC and Sheffield DocFest presents:

HYBRID VIGOUR: WHEN MUSIC, ART, AND DOCUMENTARY COLLIDE

Sunday, 27 April, 3:30 pm

From last year's Stories We Tell to the controversial The Act of Killing, the hybrid documentary is going from strength to convention-busting strength. But British documentary seems to be pushing the boundaries even further in challenging the genres of music, biography and archive film. Why is this and what does it tell us about the role of artists and musicians in documentary filmmaking?

Join the creative partnerships behind three recent festival hits for an exploration of what went into stretching the limits of the form, an insight into the unusual collaborations between director and subject, and a look at the questions these films pose about memory, truth and the creative process.

In a lively afternoon celebrating creativity and collaboration, Arnold
talks with Peter Golub (Director, Sundance Film Music Program),
offering a first hand look at the composing process – through
conversation, clips and various demonstrations of his approach
to film and the musical choices that have led to some of his most
notable work.

Jarvis Cocker and Martin Wallace composer and director of The Big Melt
Edwyn Collins and Grace Maxwell, and TBD and TBD subjects and directors of The Possibilities are Endless
Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, directors of 20,000 Days on Earth.

Moderated by Tabitha Jackson, director Documentary Film Program, Sundance Institute.

Presented in association with BRITDOC and Sheffield DocFest
