I am a camera (but I’m lying): documentary realism, panoptic voyeurism and the art of hybrid fiction

Drawing on her early career as a documentary filmmaker, Professor Nikita Lalwani explores how watching as a camera serves as a foundational catalyst for her writing. Investigating the intersection of real-life testimony with creative fabrication, this lecture examines how fiction can be used to reframe and reinterpret real world events.

Admission is free, but booking is essential.
