The Australian Directors Guild and Griffith Film School present Directing the First Person Documentary, a conversation with directors Phoebe Hart (Orchids: My Intersex Adventure), Peter Hegedus (My America) and Cathy Henkel (The Man Who Stole my Mother’s Face) followed by a Q&A.
These filmmakers have made revealing, confronting and at times controversial films with themselves as the protagonist. So how did they go about formulating the idea, pitching themselves as a character, directing shoots, exercising judgment in the edit? How did they negotiate the boundaries between personal and professional and relationships on-screen and off with family and friends? What have been the long-term effects on their lives?

Time: 6.00pm til 8.00pm
Venue: Griffith Film School Cinema, Southbank campus (entry from Dock Street)
