DocMontevideo/ 1
It started yesterday and runs until July 27. It is the fourth edition of DocMontevideo in the Uruguayan capital. And it has a very professional approach to why and how to reach a goal that is both regional and international. The subtitle to the event says ”TV Meeting/Pitching, Workshops, Networking” and in that way it draws parallels to the festivals and markets in Europe that aims at uniting industry and art.
Below you will find the organiser’s both visionary and practical text from the clear and appealing website of DocMontevideo. Here is to mention the international participation of the ITVS in the US and the National Film Board of Canada, as well as a masterclass with Lithuanian Audrius Stonys (photo), whose work is very familiar to readers of filmkommentaren. Bravo for this Eastern European target, last year Marcel Lozinski visited Montevideo.
Otherwise the Documentary Week of DocMontevideo includes the showing and debate with the directors of ”The Lifeguard” (Maite Alberdi, Chile), ”Birth” (Jorge Caballero, Colombia), ”Aqui se Construye” (Ignacio Aguero, Chile), ”My Family’s Flowers” (Juan Ignacio Fernández Hoppe, Uruguay) and ”CTRL-V” (Leonardo Brant, Brazil).
