DokuTalks
What Does It Mean to Watch?
In an age of endless images, from war zones, surveillance feeds, and frontline protests, this panel explores the ethics of watching and filming in a time when apathy often greets atrocity. How can the act of filming confront impunity? Can attention lead to accountability? And what do we owe to the images (and the people) we cannot unsee?
Speakers to be announced soon!
