Currently in its 24th year, DSS is hosted by the Institute of Media and 
Journalism (IMeG) <http://www.imeg.com.usi.ch/en> at the University of 
Lugano (Università della Svizzera Italiana <https://www.usi.ch/en>), 
along with the Locarno Film Festival 
<https://www.locarnofestival.ch/en/LFF/home> and the Semaine de la 
Critique 
<https://www.locarnofestival.ch/LFF/locarno75/film-sections/semaine-de-la-critique.html>. 
As always, DSS will bring together experts from academia and the film 
industry to collaborate, exchange valuable insights, explore fresh 
concepts, and collectively contemplate the future of documentary filmmaking.

  * Established 24 years ago, the DSS offers an exceptional opportunity
    to meet and learn from globally renowned scholars and filmmakers
    while soaking up the atmosphere of one of the world's most
    prestigious film festivals.
  * The DSS program offers a one-of-a-kind experience that includes five
    half days of engaging lectures and carefully selected films from the
    prestigious Semaine de la Critique and the Festival's International
    Competition. By participating in this program, you will have the
    opportunity to engage in a stimulating exchange between the academic
    and film communities, immersing yourself in a dynamic dialogue that
    spans a wide range of topics - from theoretical reflection to
    creative practice.
  * At DSS, we are dedicated to showcasing the immense potential that
    hybrid projects - which bring together academia and film practices -
    can offer to both communities. Our program achieves this by drawing
    on the insights of renowned film scholars and filmmakers, whose
    contributions help to bridge the gap between these two domains and
    generate meaningful benefits for all involved.
  * The DSS strives to emphasize the advantages of hybrid projects that
    benefit both communities by tapping into the knowledge of
    world-renowned film scholars and filmmakers.
  *   Over the years, we have been honored to host a diverse array of
    distinguished speakers, inlcuding Andrea Segre (award-winning
    director who has directed more than 20 films in the documentary and
    fiction genre), Nevina Satta (managing director of the Sardegna Film
    Commission and secretary general of the European Film Commission),
    Till Brockmann (head of the Semaine de la Critique, the independent
    section of the Locarno Film Festival, organized by the Swiss
    Association of Film Journalists), Rula Jebreal (journalist, novelist
    and award-winning screenwriter), Alessandro Comodin (director,
    screenwriter and editor of the documentary "Gigi the Law"), Arthur
    Jafa (American cinematographer), Brian Winston (Emmy winner for
    documentary screenplay) and many others!
