Emmy-winning filmmaker Katerina Cizek is working on the frontline of the digital revolution. In this Masters Series Class, Cizek will use her critically acclaimed National Film Board Project HIGHRISE as a case study to discuss web documentaries and interactive storytelling, and offer concrete advice on how to take digital docs from conceptualization to execution.

HIGHRISE explores “vertical living in the global suburbs” and since its launch in 2009 has gone on to earn a Canadian Screen Award, an International Digital Emmy for Non-Fiction, and the Inaugural IDFA DocLab Award for Digital Storytelling. The Master Class will also include a sneak preview of Cizek’s third and final instalment of the NFB HIGHRISE project.

On February 21, Cizek will lead an intensive lab for individuals working on interactive docs. Applications for the Lab are now open.
