About

The lecture is dedicated to documentary cinema in the age of social networks and artificial intelligence. Documentary cinema has long been perceived as a genre that directly reflects reality, but everything changed in the 21st century. Social networks, algorithms, artificial intelligence, and an endless stream of user-generated content have altered both the environment and audience expectations. Now almost anyone can film what is happening on a smartphone, edit a story, and distribute it, and the question of trust in the image has become sharper than ever. The lecture concludes the series "Inventing Reality: Documentary Cinema in English-Speaking Countries" and is dedicated to how documentary filmmaking exists in the age of post-truth. Reality becomes a subject of disputes, and the camera is no longer perceived as a neutral witness. The discussion will center around aesthetics, new media, digital platforms, and ways of telling stories that claim to connect with facts but inevitably go through editing, authorial self-censorship, and the context of presentation. Special attention will be given to contemporary documentarians: Alex Gibney, Davis Guggenheim, Joe Berlinger, Bruce Sinofsky, Stanley Nelson, and other directors. The lecturer will also talk about the contributions of women directors, experimental forms, and new approaches to working with "real" narratives. The lecture will be conducted by Nadezhda Grebneva - the leading librarian of the Center for Cultures of English-Speaking Countries. Admission is free.
