Artistic Differences

ARTISTIC DIFFERENCES, produced by UnionDocs and hosted by Cíntia Gil, is a monthly series of longform interviews with the most poetic and powerful filmmakers exploring documentary art today. It is also an online cineclub, a braintrust of folks from all around the world, who gather regularly to thoughtfully consider these challenging works and generate brave questions and candid responses that fuel the dialogue. Join us to WATCH urgent and expressive films, DISCUSS new contexts, voices, visions, and ideas across many differences, and LISTEN to open and honest conversations with the artists.
