Filmmaker Mark Cousins Delivers “Anti-Masterclass” On Documentary And Creativity At Millennium Docs Against Gravity

Filmmaker Mark Cousins delivered an "anti-masterclass" at Millennium Docs Against Gravity in Warsaw, Poland, exploring creativity and documentary.

One on Kredytowa street in Warsaw, Poland bears a sign that reads, “The door is heavy, but it’s worth the effort.” Manage to pull it open and inside the 19 th century building you’ll find exhibits of the National Museum of Ethnography. During the Millennium Docs Against Gravity festival now underway in Warsaw, the museum serves as the home for MDAG Industry, a program of pitching sessions, panel discussions, and an unusual discovery — an “anti-masterclass” given by the noted filmmaker Mark Cousins. The second image that appeared depicted a statue of a Madonna and child, maculate from lichen growth in its outdoor setting (those familiar with the documentary Sugarcane would recognize it as a blanched and weather-beaten form standing near an Indian Residential School in British Columbia).
