"IS THIS FOR REAL?!"
Documentary and animation filmmakers with a connection to Cincinnati tread the line between reality and fiction.
Curated By: Near*By Collective
Poster Art By: Antonio Adams
Installation Art By: Joey Versoza
Documentaries and animated films implicitly exist on opposite ends of the reality spectrum: the former ostensibly a record of actual events, and the latter a wholly contrived document. And yet—as artists are want to do—filmmakers often seek to transcend the formal and traditional limitations of what might be considered “real” and what might be “fake.”
With a program that includes sixteen filmmakers with local ties to Greater Cincinnati, NEAR*BY Curatorial Collective’s two-day program of films seeks to demonstrate the ways in which the various permutations of documentary and animated films can present dubious, trustworthy or otherwise representations of reality.
