Masterclass "The Everyday: Form and Forces" with Trinh T. Minh-Ha and Catarina Alves Costa
On 24 and 25 November 2024, Trinh T. Minh-ha, Vietnamese director, writer, theorist and professor based in the USA, will be in Lisbon after her participation in Doc's Kingdom - International Seminar on Documentary Film. As well as presenting her latest film, What About China? (2022), and a previously unseen restored print of the film Naked Spaces: Living is Round (1985), Trinh T. Minh-ha will also give a masterclass, organised in partnership with the Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia (CRIA).
About to turn 25, this edition of the International Seminar on Documentary Film, organised by Apordoc, aims to imagine and discuss the possibilities and political and ethical implications of sound in a collective study space far beyond the gaze: a space to see, hear and rediscover cinema through listening. Doc's Kingdom takes place in Odemira from 19 to 24 November and continues in Lisbon with the presence of Minh-ha in a special programme.
