An evening exploring authorship in documentary filmmaking with Luuk Bouwman and Marina Meijer, who together make up the first cohort of TalentScope Documentary. For twelve months, they had the opportunity to develop their filmmaking practice by addressing creative challenges and exploring new avenues. This exploration was driven by developing a new project and engaging in conversations with various international film professionals.

Luuk and Marina will reflect on their experiences and working methods, as well as the insights gained from dedicating a year to deepening their practice. Join us for an open conversation about authorship, process, and what it takes to find your way as a documentary filmmaker.

We wrap up this first edition of TalentScope Documentary with drinks and the announcement of the new cohort for the coming year.
