Ethnographic Filmmaking LAB – Day 10

Tenth meeting of the Ethnographic Filmmaking LAB!

With Laura Longobardi and Mattia Colombo, we learned how to build a social impact campaign along with the production of the film.
Laura Longobardi in 2019 founded Impact Days : the industry’s first event entirely dedicated to impact production as part of FIFDH Genève, the leading international event on cinema and human rights. The event, which takes place annually in March, is aimed at international filmmakers who want to make an impact with their documentaries and connect with the many changemakers present in Geneva (more than 750 NGOs active in the region).
Laura is co-editorial director of FIFDH from June 2023.
Mattia Colombo, filmmaker and author. Documentaries “Walking Trees,” “I Want to Sleep with You,” and “The Place” have been presented in many international festivals. Recently “Sconosciuti Puri” – co-directed with Valentina Cicogna and nominated at Nastri d’Argento and finalist at David di Donatello for Best Documentary – was presented at Hot Docs, Visions du Réel (Prix Jury Interreligeux), Biografilm (Audience Award) DMZ (Special Jury Prize), AJB Doc (Special Mention) and many others. He is currently developing the film Anatomy of a Portrait, supported by MiC, Lombardia Film Commission, Canton Ticino and RSI, which recently won the Best International Pitch award at Bio to B, Biografilm.
