award-winning Swiss filmmaker Peter Liechti who will be talking about his approach to creative essay documentary. Peter'is most recent film: The Sound of Insects - Portrait of a Mummy, which just won EUROPEAN DOCUMENTARY FILM AWARD 2009, Prix ARTE and has been lauded by critics and audiences alike. Inspired by a true event and by the novella Until I Am a Mummy by Shimada Masahiko, the film is a hypnotic, mesmerizing affirmation of life from one man's radical renunciation of it. Director Peter Liechti, known for using experimental and impressionistic elements in his documentaries, layers lush images and sounds from the forest with sudden cacophonous flashes from an anonymous urban setting to draw us into the mummy's experience.
