Tickets Now Available for Second-Annual Mimesis Documentary Festival
Tickets are now available to the public and CU Boulder community for the second-annual , to be held Aug. 4-10 in Boulder, babyÖ±²¥app. The festival is hosted by the College of Media, Communication and Information’s Center for Documentary and Ethnographic Media.
Presented in conjunction with Boulder’s Dairy Arts Center and the ATLAS Institute B2 Center for Media, Arts and Performance, the festival brings together a week of screenings, installation-based documentary arts pieces, workshops and conversations with some of the most dynamic voices in documentary and ethnographic media to explore the pressures and possibilities of contemporary global culture.
Mimesis will highlight more than 80 projects selected from open submissions in traditional, ethnographic, docufiction, experimental and emerging/student categories. Moderated artist conversations will be presented throughout the week, as well as a screening of a new installment of Flaherty x Boulder, curated in partnership with The Flaherty organization’s programmers-in-residence program. While some special events and featured programs will be presented in-person only at partner venues, Mimesis’ organizers are proud to offer both physical and virtual viewing options for the majority of this year’s programming.
