The Flaherty and Sergey Loznitsa
No week without good news from The Flaherty, this time the following newsletter came in:
The Flaherty is very pleased to enter into a new collaboration with Colgate University named the Colgate/Flaherty Distinguished Global Filmmaker. This project will fund a filmmaker’s travel to the US and a four-day residency including a series of interdisciplinary screenings and lectures.
Integrated into the itinerary is a Flaherty NYC screening, and, during the Colgate residency, a public event facilitated by the Flaherty NYC programmers. Each year the filmmaker visit will provide a significant means of examining the complexities surrounding documentary film, including the conceptual, logistical, political and aesthetic decisions involved – as well as contemporary theoretical concepts of the “global.”
This fall the Colgate/Flaherty Distinguished Global Filmmaker collaboration will bring acclaimed Russian filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa to the Flaherty NYC screening series on Monday, November 3 at Anthology Film Archives in New York City, and to Colgate University for an intensive weeklong exploration of film and filmmaking. The project will run for three years, thanks to support from the Colgate University’s Office of the Provost and Dean of the Faculty and the Christian A. Johnson Endeavor CORE Fund.
