The Stanford Film Lab Presents:
The Short Documentaries of Santiago Alvarez
Screening and short presentation by Kristi M. Wilson
Santiago Alvarez is known the world over for his short “pamphlet-style” documentaries comprised largely of found and newsreel footage. His rapid-fire collage style of filmmaking fights corporate advertising fire with fire. Come and see the micro documentaries of a Cuban revolutionary filmmaker who spent years in the US before the revolution honing what would later become a style that he called “accelerated underdevelopment.”
Monday, November 6, in the Stanford Writing Center (Margaret Jacks Hall, basement)
8 p.m. to 9 p.m.
