Genres and boundaries in (non)fiction cinema.The issues that will be addressed during the DSS include: The DSS brings together partecipants with an academic and/or a filmmaking background and invites them to exchange best practices and collaboratively reflect on one of the most fundamental themes in documentary cinema: “ Filming the real: dramatization and performance in documentary cinema”. For these reasons, the 2022 Documentary Summer School focuses on theoretical and practical questions pertaining both to the study and creation of non-fiction cinema.

At the same time, numerous filmmakers and video artists contribute to advance, in creative yet rigorous ways, some of the most fundamental questions confronting film studies scholars. Researchers ever more often produce scientific outputs that differ from the traditional text-based formats, such as, for example, artistic performances, video-essays, and exhibitions. Following in this promising terrain, the 2022 Documentary Summer School (8-12 August 2022) wants to foster dialogue and encourage synergies between the academic and filmmaking communities.Īcademics and documentarists often share the use of similar approaches and methods in their research work and artistic production, spurred by, among other factors, the widespread adoption of digital technologies in both filmmaking, and research and education.

In recent years, however, a growing number of hybrid projects has emerged that showed the potential for mutual benefit deriving from bridging the academic and filmmaking experiences.

When talking about cinema, academic enquiry and creative practice have long been regarded as fully distinct and disconnected forms of knowledge production and critical reflection.
