How do documentary filmmakers navigate truth, trust, and subjectivity in their work? In this talk, Tinna Ottesen and Janus Bragi Jakobsson share personal reflections from their experiences making the performance lectures “Íslenskt snitsel” that developed into the documentary feature “4 reasons for sharing”. (Paradís Amatörsins) Using video clips and discussion, they explore the challenges of balancing honesty with perspective, building trust with participants, and making creative choices with other peoples video material. This is not a lecture on rules but an open conversation about the complexities of storytelling and the constant negotiations that shape a documentary.
