FIELD SESSIONS Field Sessions are close encounters between artists that provide an unsurpassed intimacy that can’t be achieved in a multiperson panel. Each session is a conversational deep dive into the ideas that shape nonfiction filmmaking in 2022. All Field Sessions are free & open to the public.
48 ALLIANCE Saturday, Mar 5 / 1pm-2pm / Forrest Sin Sitio Cine, a “siteless” production company, dissects its organic approach to collaboration when producing nonfiction work. It strives to acknowledge and challenge the complexities of the contemporary world by focusing on producing artistically ambitious, politically conscious works, unconcerned with length and genre classifications. Speakers include Juan Pablo González, Ilana Coleman, Bruna Alves Rocha Haddad, and Jamie Gonçalves.
49 ANCESTRY Saturday, Mar 5 / 3pm-4pm / Forrest Jon-Sesrie Goff (After Sherman) and Victoria Linares Villegas (It Runs in the Family) turn their cameras inward to interrogate the relationship between their family histories and ideas of inheritance in their films. The two filmmakers discuss their approach to personal investigations and unearthing unheard narratives from their familial pasts.
50 ARCHIVE Sunday, Mar 6 / 2:45pm-3:45pm / Forrest Sara Dosa (Fire of Love) and Aliona van der Horst (Turn Your Body to the Sun) excavate historical narratives from archival materials with a commitment to cinematic language. The pair discuss the process of searching for stories in the archive and taking on the responsibility of telling another’s story.
51 INSTITUTIONS Sunday, Mar 6 / 4:30pm-5:30pm / Forrest Yé Yé (H6) and Nastia Korkia (GES-2) explore institutions with an observational lens, telling interconnected stories to build collective portraits that reflect wider society. Together, they explore their creative processes for immersing themselves inside spaces and crafting compelling observational narratives.
