DOCUMENTARY: This Feeling Is Brand New
18:30 Sat 19 Jan 2019
A lot of feelings go unspoken and a lot of desires die repressed. These films use the documentary form as a mediator between the previously untold and the desire to tell, showing that the therapeutic value of cinema, and documentary in particular, is in desperate need. From the emotional repression of a father-son relationship to the cathartic outlet of warhammer, each of these docs offer space for reflection without judgement and show us the value of giving in to the need to express yourself. 95’
