Making Political Documentaries in an Ever Changing World

Monday 22 Sept 16:30-17:30, Scandic Triangeln

As a documentary filmmaker, you are always faced with a story developing in real time. But what do you do if the country and the characters you are following all of a sudden are world wide breaking news in a completely different story than the one you were telling? How do you strike a balance of manoeuvring news streams and political realities while getting very close to characters at the centre of the action? Do you zoom in on the universe you wanted to investigate when you set out, or do you let in the rest of the world?

Join us for a conversation with acclaimed documentary filmmaker Karen Stokkendal Poulsen where we dig into all of these questions and more, when she shares her experiences from her previous films as well as her works in progress about the Iran deal and the presidential puzzle for the European Council.
