Description
Directors Jonas Poher Rasmussen and Eliane Raheb will discuss collaborating with a friend to tell their story in a collaborative and accurate way, and how creative techniques allowed them to do that. If you’ve yet to see their most recent films (Flee and Miguel’s War, respectively), which have only played at festivals so far, trust us, they will be on your list of the Best Films of 2021 by December.

Who are the guests for the masterclass?
Jonas Poher Rasmussen
This January, Danish filmmaker Jonas Poher Rasmussen’s Flee was the talk of Sundance, taking home the festival’s World Cinema Documentary Grand Jury prize and was swiftly picked up by Neon. Rasmussen uses animation to tell the story of his childhood friend, Amin, a refugee who came to Denmark from Syria.
Eliane Raheb
Lebanese filmmaker Eliane Raheb impressed this year out of Berlinale with Miguel’s War, a film that uses verité footage, recreations, and animation to narrate her friend Miguel’s journey from fighting in the Lebanese Civil War to fleeing to Spain, where he now lives.
This masterclass is part of The 2021 Creative Nonfiction Workshop, which features four masterclasses with pairs of nonfiction filmmakers, as well as access to watch their films, meet fellow attendees, and join informal discussion groups. Tickets for the full workshop are currently off sale, but you can attend this masterclass with a single ticket.
