From Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam:
This February, doc cicada and The Japan Foundation for Cultural exchange in Vietnam would love to bring you a special program: screening the documentary “Peace” and masterclass with director Kazuhiro Soda about documentary filmmaking.
Kazuhiro Soda is a Peabody Award winning filmmaker. He’s also a recipient of the Marek Nowicki lifetime achievement prize awarded by the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights. He practices an observational method of documentary filmmaking based on his own “Ten Commandments” which prohibits him from doing pre-shoot research or writing a synopsis before filming. He imposes these rules on himself in order to minimize preconceptions and to be able to make unexpected discoveries while filming and editing.
Peace (2010) is a visual-essay-like observational documentary, which contemplates these questions by observing the daily lives of people and cats in Okayama city, Japan, where life and death, acceptance and rejection are intermingled.
Peace has won Best Documentary Award – Hong Kong Int. Film Festival 2011, Buyens-Chagoll Award – Visions du Reel 2011, Audience Award – Tokyo Filmex 2010 and being the Opening Film of DMZ Korean Int. Documentary Festival 2010.
The program consists of 2 sessions: film screening and masterclass.
