Lussas 2012

Every year late August the French documentarians go to Ardèche to discuss and to watch, and have a good time. This year (August 19-25) the seminars include themes like ”The Necessity of Criticism?” and how to ”build a Political point of View”. The so-called Professional Encounters offer sessions on ”animated documentary”, ”commissioning policy”, ”RED” (camera), regional funding possibilities etc.

And for the many screenings, of course with many French docs, there is also a focus on recent Portuguese documentaries, and (bravo from this blogger) a broad, qualified historical selection of Baltic country documentaries. There are films by Aivars Freimanis from Latvia, Robertas Verba from Lithuania, Andres Sööt from Estonia, and closer to today several films by Juris Podnieks, Ivars Seleckis, Uldis Brauns and Herz Frank from Latvia, as well as Mark Soosaar (photo) from Estonia, not to forget Audrius Stonys and Arunas Matelis from Lithuania, from where (one critical remark) films by Henrikas Sablevicius are missing.
