| Inhalte | 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. 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. 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. Academics 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. 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. 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. 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. 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”. The issues that will be addressed during the DSS include: • Genres and boundaries in (non)fiction cinema • Dramatization of reality • Performance in documentary cinema • People, characters and persona in documentary cinema Established 23 years ago as a joint initiative between the Institute of Media and Journalism of the Università della Svizzera italiana and the Locarno Film Festival, in collaboration with La Semaine de la Critique, the DSS offers to its participants a unique platform to meet and learn from high-profile international film scholars and non-fiction filmmakers and representatives of film institutions, all while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of one of the top film festivals in the world. The DSS programme entails five half-days of lectures,coupled with screenings of films selected in the Semaine de la Critique section and participation to masterclasses and events of the Locarno Academy. Faculty The DSS faculty is composed by international film scholars and film practitioners, including filmmakers selected in the Semaine de la Critique section.
