Marc Isaacs — Staging The Real and The Limits of Observation

In cooperation with Restart we are organising the masterclass of award-winning British director and cinematographer, Marc Isaacs, known for The Filmmaker’s House (2020), Men of the City (2009) and All White in Barking (2007). Sometimes things happen spontaneously in front of your camera that amaze you and you return home at the end of the day excited about the film you are making. But mostly, filmmaking involves staging the real to make it transcend the ‘ordinary’ and fulfil its potential as an art form. From discussing tiny details to grand gestures, documentary filmmaker Marc Isaacs will reveal how he constructs his narratives in the hope of avoiding predictability.

After the masterclass, at 8pm in Dokukino KIC, Preradovićeva 5, a screening will be held of Marc Isaacs’ All White in Barking, UK, 2007, 73’.
