Masterclass: Kazuhiro Soda / Dokukino KIC / 14. 12. 2022.

Moderator: Ivan Ramljak

Jezik: engleski / Language: English

U masterclassu pod naslovom FILM PROMATRANJA japanski dokumentarist Kazuhiro Soda predstavio je zagrebačkoj publici svoje nagrađivane opservacijske dokumentarce koje karakterizira znatiželjan, smiren i suptilni pristup. Tijekom posljednjih petnaestak godina Soda sa svojom partnericom i producenticom Kiyoko Kashiwagi samostalno producira, snima, montira i distribuira svoje filmove o autsajderima koji često uključuju materijale iz njegovih političkih reportaža: napete odnose između starosjedioca i migranata, neugodne izborne kampanje, loš tretman bolesnih i ranjivih. No čak i kad ih suočava s teškim istinama Soda instinktivno skrbi za svoje gledatelje te stvara filmske prostore unutar kojih mogu predahnuti, sabrati se i reflektirati nad društvenim problemima.

Masterclass je organiziran u suradnji s Multimedijalnim institutom.

In his masterclass OBSERVATIONAL FILM Japanese documentarist Kazuhiro Soda presented his award-winning observational documentaries characterised by a curious, serene and subtle approach to the audience in Zagreb. Over the course of the past fifteen years, Soda and his partner and producer Kiyoko Kashiwagi, have been independently producing, filming, editing and distributing his films about outsiders which often include materials from his political cover stories: tense relationships between natives and migrants, unpleasant election campaigns, poor treatment of the sick and the vulnerable. However, even when he faces them with hard reality, Soda instinctively takes care of his viewers and creates cinematic spaces where they can take a break, collect their thought, and reflect over social issues.

The masterclass was hosted in collaboration with the Multimedia institute.
