Artistic self-portraits and self-documentation: representing ourselves in the digital age

Drawing parallels from the world of documentary filmmaking, we can see how the evolution of technology has transformed the way we tell stories about ourselves. In the early days of documentary filmmaking, the process was largely observational, with filmmakers capturing life as it happened. However, as the medium evolved, so did the techniques. The panel will explore the techniques used in the creation of digital self-portraits and self-documentation and will also discuss the ethical considerations involved in this process, and the impact of digital self-representation on our understanding of identity and reality. Panelists: Viera Čákanyová , filmmaker (Notes From Eremocene) Armel Hostiou, filmmaker (The Other Profile) Kit Vincent, filmmaker/producer (Red Herring) Moderated by Dea Gjinovci filmmaker & DokuTalks co-curator Date: Sunday, 6 August Time: 17:00 Venue: The Garden of Shani Efendi Gallery
