DOCo#022: VIEHSCHAU

This month we are hosting a work-in-progress screening and feedback session of the film, “Viehschau” directed by Callum Boath

The evening will begin with a screening of last month’s DOCMA film, #113_BOOOM! followed by Viehschau and an open feedback session.

Come along, share your thoughts, and be part of the creative process.

VIEHSCHAU - SYNOPSIS (FEEDBACK FILM)

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

As with everything, technology is changing the landscape of Swiss farming. But with a world rapidly moving towards automation there is a revival in tradition and heritage in rural communities. The Viehschau is a part of the identity of the cattle farmers of Appenzellerland, but will these traditions still be passed on to future generations?

FEEDBACK SESSION

Following the screening we will have an informal feedback session where attendants will be encouraged to give feedback and thoughts to help the filmmaker improve their next cut.

The feedback session will be hosted and facilitated by DOCo members, and we aim to make the space feel safe, open and the feedback constructive and critical. Please come and join us in shaping the future of the film.

DOCMA

We will also have the premiere of the latest DOCMA: DOCMA#113_BOOOM! after which, those who would like to take part in the next DOCMA will put their names in the hat.

People of all backgrounds and interests are welcome. Tickets are free.

DOCMA - THE DOCUMENTARY GAME

As part of our event we regularly play a monthly game of DOCMA.
DOCMA is a documentary game designed to involve anyone who wants to try to make a documentary, originally started by DocKlub inspired by the Dogme 95 manifesto.

The basic principle is:
5 filmmakers make 5 films (each 1 minute long) on one common theme. Each filmmaker is allocated a documentary style in which to make their 1 minute film, and the filmmakers are not allowed to confer. At the given deadline the 5 films are collated and laid back-to-back on a timeline to create one five-minute film on the chosen theme. Credits are added and the ‘DOCMA film’ is then premiered to the filmmakers and a public audience at the same time.

This month we will be drawing the names of participating filmmakers for next month’s event, so come and put your name in the hat.
