Documentary Summer School

2022 – Filming the real: dramatization and performance in documentary cinema

Now in its 23rd edition, the Documentary Summer School (DSS) is jointly organized by the Institute of Media and Journalism of the Università della Svizzera italiana and the Locarno Film Festival, in collaboration with the Semaine de la critique. The 2022 Documentary Summer School aims to foster exchanges and to foregorund the synergies between the academic and filmmaking communities. The DSS does so by engaging participants in a dialogue with international film scholars and film practitioners on issues pertaining to both theoretical reflection and creative practice. The theme of this year’s edition is “Filming the real: dramatization and performance in documentary cinema”.
