This section is not just about real and pretend. It's a little bit about truth and lies, the manufacturing of truth, and the manipulation of facts. It's also about expression, imagination, representation, symbolism and magic.
It's not so much about black and white as the many shades of grey that lie between. It's about what we're used to seeing on screen and how we interpret it.
Fact & Fiction offers good opportunities for cross-curricular work, specifically within areas of social sciences and PSD. It encourages discussion & debate, critical thinking & evaluation.
The opinions, experience and preconceptions of the viewer play as important a role as the intentions of the filmmaker - this section will encourage your class to examine the basis for their own assumptions about and reactions to different moving image media.
