Autobiographical Cinema
/ Autobiographies in Cinema

Off Screen is the designation of the Summer Course that will take place during the MDOC – International Documentary Film Festival of Melgaço

The 2023 summer course focuses on the general theme of the Melgaço International Documentary Festival – Identity, Memory and the Border and addresses as a specific theme AUTOBIOGRAPHIC CINEMA / AUTOBIOGRAPHIES IN CINEMA based on the review of the State of the Art and research projects in the Arts, Cinema and the Humanities.
