Incorporating elements of narrative and experimental cinema, traditional documentary and essay, the films of Peter Mettler (Picture of Light; Gambling, Gods & LSD; The End of Time) are bold and mesmerizing. Reflecting on a 30-year career, Mettler will speak to the art of improvisation in documentary filmmaking.

Mettler will discuss his strategies for preparing for the unexpected and how he's developed his instincts in the editing suite. Alternating between clips, conversation and practical advice, this master class will provide participants with insights into the working methods and philosophy of this truly singular filmmaker.

The Class will be moderated by writer José Teodoro, who’s currently working on a book about Mettler’s films.
