The award winning documentary makers Geoffrey Smith and Anders Østergaard will both be in Galway next week for a two-day seminar.
Galway Film Centre and MEDIA Antenna, in association with the GMIT, will host the Talking Documentary: Finance, Form & Future seminar on Friday October 15 and Saturday 16 in the Radisson Hotel.
The event is aimed at filmmakers, film students, and film fans, and will be an invaluable insight for experienced and aspiring documentary makers. There will also be screenings of both Østergaard’s Burma VJ, which received an Oscar nomination this year, and Smith’s The English Surgeon, for which he won an Emmy.
The seminar will examine documentary making in Europe; feature a discussion by Irish commissioning editors; and explore where documentary making might be going.
The event is free but places are limited and participants must register to reserve a place. For more information email [email protected] or see www.galwayfilmcentre.ie
