FREE masterclass with Nick Broomfield
Date: 7 March 2008T
ime: 2.30-5.30pm
Location: Edinburgh College of Art Main Lecture Theatre, 74 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh EH3 9DF
Cost: Free, but RSVP to scottishdocumentaryinstitute@eca.ac.uk
Scottish Documentary Institute is delighted to welcome acclaimed director Nick Broomfield who will give an intense three-hour masterclass about his work and show his film Battle for Haditha at Edinburgh Filmhouse followed by Q&A. Famous for his idiosyncratic approach to observational cinema, Nick will be discussing and showing clips from a range of his films from his latest fiction feature Battle for Haditha to his documentary Fetishes.
While making Driving me Crazy in 1988, Nick decided to put himself and the producer in the film to try to make sense of the event. This experiment led to a greater sense of freedom from the confines of observational cinema and led to a more investigative and experimental type of filmmaking. For example: The Leader, his Driver and his Driver's Wife, Aileen Wuornos, Kurt and Courtney, Biggie and Tupac.
Battle for Haditha Screening
Director: Nick Broomfield
Location: Filmhouse Cinema, 88 Lothian Road, Edinburgh EH3 9BZ
Date: 7 March 2008
Time: 6pm (93 mins)
Tickets: £6/£4.50
Documentarian Nick Broomfield's third fictional feature is a forensic cinema verité-style account of a real-life massacre in Iraq, when US marines gunned down 24 Iraqi civilians in cold blood. Nick Broomfield's re-enactment of the massacre explores the events from multiple perspectives. Shot in the naturalistic style seen in his last film about the Chinese cockle pickers Ghosts, the film brings the audience close to life on the ground in this troubled country.Following the screening Nick will take part in a Q&A.
