Imagining the Truth – Alan Gilsenan
This series of workshops will be based upon the theme of Imagining the Truth – reflecting, in both a practical and philosophical way, on how the truth is mediated in both documentary and fiction films. Reflecting equally on both screen-writing and directing, the workshops are aimed at all who are interested in either making or watching films. Or both.
Is truth attainable or even desirable in a work of art? Is truth simply an outmoded notion in our global digital age? Or are we simply just bored with the truth?
