The things we create and the things that create us. How we can share our personal
experiences and our memories with the context of art. The talk will focus on the notion of filmmaking as a form of trauma therapy, the
representation of the other in cinema and the ethical challenges encountered in making
personal films and the shifting line between reality and imagination.
