Monter une histoire, montrer l’Histoire, table ronde sur le film documentaire historique

Abstract

Seven film directors – Mehran Tamadon, David Korn-Brzoza, Jean-Gabriel Périot, Frédéric Gonseth, Stéphane Goël, Daniel Wyss et Alex Mayenfisch – discussed the four key-steps in historic documentary film production. Their seven points of view diverged on why and how films should and can portray History. From the roundtable brilliantly moderated by Anaïs Kien, producer for La Fabrique de l’Histoire at France Culture radio station, there emerged a variety of film-making practices – from purists of audiovisual archives to illusionists of high definition colour movies.
