On Saturday, March 24th at 7 P.M. we will screen a selection of Périot's short masterworks, which were shown at the biggest and best known festival venues around the world, from Berlin and Venice to Amsterdam or Rotterdam including hundreds of others. The films were selected by Igor Bezinović and the author will be present for Q&A.
Enterance to the Masterclass is free. The tickets for the screening are sold at the cinema ticket office.
Jean-Gabriel Périot is considered a master of editing and the "king of archives" because most of his shorts in the last 15 years of active work have been made by using mostly archival materials. 'The German Youth', his first feature-length documentary was the opening film in the Panorama section at the 2015 Berlinale. 'Natsu no hikari' (2016), his first feature film had its world premiere in San Sebastian competition ending up in wide European cinema distribution.
