The Permanent Community of Doc's Kingdom aims to reflect, expand and articulate the collective knowledge produced at the annual Seminar, organizing study-days, in-person meetings and online sessions throughout the year.
This first series of online masterclasses aims to interrogate the very idea of community, based on the practices of four leading artistic and cultural organizations, with very different histories, scales and missions, operating simultaneously at a local and global level in different territories of documentary cinema.
Through a discussion around the gestures of producing, directing, distributing and programming films, we want to question: how can cinema build communities?
