Conference of Ethics in Documentary Film

We will organise as part of the Visegrad Accelerator the Conference on Ethics in Documentary Film – an innovative platform for discussion on ethical questions related to the production and reception of documentary films. This important debate is practically missing in Central Europe. The conference will offer a space for a discussion on topics connecting experts from V4 countries. We see a special contribution of this joint discussion in the fact that it will allow us to map the most important ethical issues of handling archival or taken material (from private and public archives, news reports, home videos, photographs, or news or social networks) on the surface of historical events that will be familiar to all participants of the discussion from V4 countries, yet will differ in their interpretation. The aim is to open space for dialogue among the academic community, filmmakers and film industry, and map the most relevant ethical topics and questions in the field.
