Open City x Another Gaze Critics Workshop

ICA London, September 2023




In September 2023 I was part of the Critics Workshop at Open City Documentary Festival, an immersive six-day programme developed by the Another Gaze editorial team to discuss the methodologies and practice of a politically engaged film criticism.

The programme involved workshops and discussions on questions of formal experimentation, ethics, the place of the “I” in criticism, the role of negative criticism, as well as more practical discussion of the editorial process, pitching and interviewing practices.

As part of the programme, I interviewed the filmmaker Mary Helena Clark, artist in focus for the festival in 2023.
