The global ecology is irreversibly affected by human activity. Departing from the end demands looking to the future from the symptoms of the present. But the end of nature does not necessarily refer here to a projection of the apocalypse or to a diagnosis of the anthropocene. The end of nature can also be read as the dissolution of the myth of nature as discrete from culture - acknowledging that all things are part of a continuous ecological identity. Raising the possibility of an ecology of images in a world saturated with images, the 2016 Doc's Kingdom invites us on a journey in all cardinal directions, with a group of feaured filmmakers whose cinema proposes new maps for using and reading images today. From the 3rd through the 8th of September in Arcos de Valdevez, Portugal, the 2016 Doc's Kingdom was programmed by Aily Nash and Nuno Lisboa, gathering an international community for an intensive, blind program of screenings and discussions, also including meals, walks and special events. The seminar is the unabridged and cumulative experience including surprise film screenings, collective discussions and the informal gathering in a bucolic environment, with guest filmmakers in person during the whole seminar. In order to encourage full commitment with the whole weeklong program, the lineup of films is kept undisclosed. At arrival, participants receive the seminar reader with information about the program and guest filmmakers. Film notes are given only at the end of each screening. Along the week, participants know they will see several works by each filmmaker and have the opportunity to discuss in an intimate atmosphere. |
