Call for applications to the Documentary Summer School (Locarno, 
Switzerland)



The Institute of Media and Journalism of the Università della Svizzera 
italiana invites applications to participate in the 15th Documentary 
Summer School (10-14 august 2015), a residential educational program 
jointly organized with the Locarno International Film Festival. This 
year we address the theme of ethics in documentary filmmaking. During 5 
days of lectures, meetings and screenings, we will explore a wide range 
of ethically-charged topics in three main content areas:

- Direction: the filmmaker’s ethical responsibility to the subjects of 
the film and to the viewers

- Production: ethical/unethical practices in documentary production

- Transnational issues in documentary cinema: an Eastern/Western 
perspective

The program also entails exclusive meetings with filmmakers from La 
Semaine de la Critique, the Festival’s documentary section.
