4. Visegrad Film Forum (11th – 14th March 2015)
The Danish documentary director Mads Brügger will come to Visegrad Film Forum Bratislava to talk about his trademark documentary filmmaking. In his films Mads Brügger plays different roles in order to gain access to environments controlled by dictators (North Korea) or corrupt politicians and businessmen (Central African Republic). His debut The Red Chapel, which takes place in North Korea won the World Cinema Jury Prize Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010. Two years later, Brügger's next film The Ambassador, in which he created a false identity of a Liberian diplomat, was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize Documentary at Sundance.
Mads Brügger with his feature debut The Red Chapel will join five other guests from the United States and Europe: Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza, winners from Cannes, Academy Award winning sound mixer Christopher Newman, independent programmer and adviser Ludmila Cviková and András Nagy, renowned Hungarian director of photography.
