David Holzman's Diary (15)

This event has already taken place and ended on 15 Aug 2010

Far ahead of its time, this film was a kind of mockumentary, yet so convincing that the audience booed it at Cannes as they saw the credits and realised it wasn't 'real'. But much of this film-diary of a recently drafted New Yorker was documentary, as well as being a sublime, funny piece of filmmaking.

Known Unknowns film season
Part of Arnolfini's Old Media season, this season of films and videos focuses on the camera's role not only in recording events, but also in producing them. The lines between documentary and fiction, acting and being, thought and moving images, become fuzzy; suggesting that cinema has become a prosthetics for our memories, subjectivities and doubts.
