Documentary Workshop

Flickerfest is presenting a workshop at this year's festival with Australian independent Doco director George Gittoes. His most recent film RAMPAGE is screening across Australia and internationally and has been described as a journey into the forbidden zones; - America's war in Iraq, and in its own backyard - life in a Miami hood. It is an exploration of hip hop's musical innovations, as important as the field hollers, the blues, and jazz, which also began in the black ghettos, and then went on to evolve as major music styles.
