Calendar – Past Event

Snapshots: Tourism in Cinema is a series about documentary as a form of tourism, of the filmmaker looking at a place through the gaze of an outsider. Whether verité or talking head, most documentaries begin with this basic arrangement. Through various formats - amateur and professional, commercial and experimental, travelogue and "fiction" (playing with the concept that all location shooting is a form of documentary) - the series will explore the outer limits of cinematic tourism by featuring works by emerging and renowned filmmakers.
