Thursday 11th – Saturday 20th February
Welcome to the Parallel Lives 10-day programme – each day I will host interviews with documentarians throughout the majority world covering Central & South America, Africa, South Asia and South-East Asia.
I’ll post a blog each day with relevant documentary film, photography, audio, and new media materials included as sources of information.
Several interviews will be pre-recorded but the majority are being live-streamed through the Documentary Media Centre Facebook Page.
