The International Film Seminars in Brooklyn, NY is a renowned organization dedicated to promoting and exploring the world of non-fiction cinema. With a mission to foster collective inquiry, exchange, and introspection through Socratic dialogue, they champion new models of nonfiction filmmaking, curating, and theorizing. Their annual Flaherty Film Seminar, revered as one of the most significant convenings in the field, brings together filmmakers, scholars, curators, and cinephiles for a week-long program of film screenings, discussions, artist talks, and installations centered around a theme. As an organization occupying a unique space within the non-fiction film ecosystem, the International Film Seminars encourages filmmakers and audiences to confront the core of the creative process itself, independent of social agenda and industry trends. Through thoughtful curation, exhibition, and discussion, they strive to elevate the human experience, expand consciousness, and encourage critical thought about the world we live in. In addition to their annual seminar, they also host the Flaherty NYC film screening and discussion series, providing a platform for emerging curators to engage with rarely-seen films and foster an expanded community around the creative process.Generated from the website
