Special program IDFA 2001
23-30 november, Amsterdam
What’s the impact of new,
digital media on the traditional, creative documentary?
This years DOCS ONLINE will raise some new questions looking at
documentary filmmaking and the effects and possibilities when working
with digital media and the internet. Starting off with a selection of
interesting digital documentary projects, the International Documentary
Filmfestival Amsterdam (IDFA) will give space and time to exchange ideas,
present work and discuss the impact of the changing infrastructure on the
documentary landscape.
DOCS ONLINE.2 will be an inspiring platform for a broad audience;
from traditional documentary-filmmakers to webaddicts, from researchers
to producers, from wise-cracks to students. With debates and
presentations and ofcourse a special website, the audience can
participate in discussions and meet the guests invited for this program.
Central theme for the opening of the debate will be "The Real versus
Mediated Life". Everybody is more than ever aware of the fact that
media-experiences have a big impact on the way we watch the world around
us. Media have become our senses and experiences in the 'real
world' are more and more refering to already absorbed information
and images coming to us through media. Are there new ways of
communicating documentary-stories? What do filmmakers and their
audiences come up with reacting on CNN, docu-soaps and
informationoverload? DOCS ONLINE explores the changing authorship, presents tools for
documentary content and invites a growing online community to participate
in the program.
