Cecelia Lawless (Romance Studies) will facilitate a conversation/tertulia with the distinguished Argentine/Mexican documentary filmmaker, Carlos Rossini as special event in the context of the annual Cine con Cultura film festival. A segment from Pau Ortiz’ feature film Al Otro Lado del Muro (2017), for which Rossini served as producer, will screen, serving as a taste of his work and a spur to dialogue. Topics will range from talking about producing political and social documentaries in the Latin American context, cinematography in the documentary film, gaining freedom to do the projects you want and about defining visual or narrative style for a project.
