7 ED WORKSHOP SESSION Case studies on upcoming releases of documentaries Wednesday April 20, 14:30-18:00 - Colombière DOCM Lab 1 Program - Introduction and presentation of pairs - Case studies and discussion Content After exploring case studies of films already released during the morning with the panel, the afternoon session will discuss case studies of films to be released. Discussing in a roundtable format, we will base ourselves on two concrete examples to launch a broader reflection on strategy releases for documentaries : TOMORROW (DEMAIN), by Cyril Dion & Mélanie Laurent, France, What if telling a story that gives hope by pointing out solutions was the best way to solve the ecological, economical and social crises that shake our world? Following the publication of a study forecasting the possible extinction of mankind by 2100, Cyril Dion and Mélanie Laurent travelled through 10 countries to understand the reasons of this upcoming catastrophe and, most of all, how to prevent it. During their journey, they met the pioneers who reinvent agriculture, energy, economy, democracy and education. By pulling together these positive, concrete and tested initiatives, they begin to see what could be the world of tomorrow FIRE AT SEA (FUOCOAMMARE), by Gianfranco Rosi, Italy, Samuele is 12 years old and lives on an island in the middle of the sea. He goes to school, loves shooting his slingshot and going hunting. He likes land games, even though everything around him speaks of the sea and the men, women and children who try to cross it to get to his island. But his is not an island like the others, its name is Lampedusa and it is the most symbolic border of Europe, crossed by thousands of migrants in the last 20 years in search of freedom. 7
