The Danish Film School, in collaboration with DANSK FILMKLIPPERSSELSKAB, opens the doors for an exclusive masterclass on the art of documentary film editing. Come into the cutting room and meet two distinctive international profiles: Emmy-nominated comedy expert Cori Wapnowska and award-winning "narrative architect" Chris Wright.

Regardless of whether it applies to absurd humor in the trivialities of everyday life, sharp social criticism or lingering, poetic touches in the whir of history, editing is the heart of the documentary film. This masterclass gives a unique insight into the engine room of two clippers who have created large-scale successes by mastering each corner of the genre.

What can you expect?

Look forward to an inspiring evening with a dive into the work processes of the two barbers. We will hear stories from the cutting room and gain concrete insights into how to build "punchlines" in a documentary, how to work backwards from a "selects" archive and how to create the right architecture in long, character-driven films.
