SCREENING + TALK

Creative Processes in documentary Film: Seeing, Narrating, Editing

By Claudia Brignone (Italy)
Thursday, June 12

7 p.m.
FADU Auditorium (Ciudad Universitaria)

Free admission
Director Claudia Brignone offers a talk after the screening of her documentary Tempo d’attesa in the great hall of FADU-UBA.

La actividad se realiza en colaboración con el Instituto Italiano de Cultura de Buenos Aires y la Cátedra de Cine y Diseño Audiovisual Italiano, y en articulación con la Cátedra Blanco de Proyecto Audiovisual. Propone un espacio de intercambio en torno a las búsquedas formales, narrativas y políticas del cine documental.

Brignone comparte su proceso creativo, abriendo el diálogo con estudiantes y el público general sobre las etapas clave de realización: desde la imaginación hasta la acción, y desde la dirección al montaje como momento fundamental de la escritura cinematográfica.


La charla también aborda el rol de la urgencia y el miedo como motores en su producción, y repasa distintas experiencias de la realizadora para profundizar en la construcción del punto de vista, el registro de la palabra y la creación de una intimidad que permite narrar historias sensibles y potentes.


Claudia Brignone was born in Naples in 1985. After completing a course in Communication Studies, she  studied Documentary Filmmaking in Rome and continued her education through several workshops and residencies. In 2014, she made her first documentary, called La Malattia del Desiderio, winner of the Audience Award at SalinaDocFest. In 2019, she presented her second feature film La Villa at the Rome Film Festival. In 2023, Tempo D’attesa won the Special Jury Award at the Torino Film Festival. She has worked as an assistant director and casting assistant on fiction films and documentaries (L’intrusa, Aperti al Pubblico, Rosa, Pietra e Stella, La Paranza Dei Bambini).
