PAWEL PAWLIKOWSKI MASTERCLASS:
BETWEEN DOCUMENTARY AND DRAMA
Chair : Angeli McFarlane
In this final session, internationally acclaimed director Pawel Pawlikowski
explores the creative influence that his documentary work has had on his fiction films.
Using sequences from Dostoevsky's Travels (1992), Serbian Epics (1992) and
Tripping with Zhirinovsky (1995), Pawel will explain how his approach to
drama in Twockers (1998), The Last Resort (2000) and My Summer of Love (2004) is
deeply rooted in the storytelling skills and visual awareness he developed during his earlier documentaries.
