synopsis
At this master class organized by the Jihlava IDFF and the Institute of Documentary Film, French director Nicolas Philibert – a recipient of the European Film Academy’s Best Documentary Film Award, among other things – will share his unusual approach to filming and storytelling, which he summarizes with the sentence, “The less I know about a topic, the better I feel!” This filmmaker, who has long been fascinated with language and communication, transforms curiosity and ignorance into an effective filmmaking method. Philibert’s documentaries have explored dark visions of a future world controlled by the financial sector, everyday life at a one-room school in a remote mountain village, or one broadcast day at Radio France, but they always touch on paths that we set out on without a map but with courage.
