Le Labo are pleased to invite film director Julia Varga – to conduct a lecture on the political power of documentary film on Sunday March 24th from 2:00-6:00 pm.

This workshop will examine the difference between ‘pedagogical’ documentaries which expose a specific thematic aimed at fixing the spectator at a determined position, and those of ‘open’ documentaries which call each viewer to form their own personal perspective. The voice over technique – a key tool of subjectivity in documentary film, will be of particular focus during this workshop.
