TRUTH ON SCREEN

The screening of a first locked cut of our documentary film, Truth In Translation in Germany, March 2013, marked the beginning of the end of an extensive, but exhilarating editing process. At the Robert Bosch Stiftung’s Annual Forum just outside of Munich, the film was screened to an audience of the foundation’s alumni, world economists and policy leaders. The Robert Bosch Stiftung partly funded the Balkans tour of the Truth In Translation stage production as well as the post-production of this documentary film. This pre-screening had the surprising effect of creating new interest to bring about a revival of the original stage production to play in Germany and other countries in 2014. We are now exploring that possibility and are in discussions about maximizing such a revival to also tour the US and Canada.

Furthermore, the foundation invited GAC to present an added screening of the film at the DNA Galerie in Berlin. There the screening formed part of the framework program of the traveling exhibition SEE New Perspectives: from Balkan Photographers; a joint project of World Press Photo and the Robert Bosch Stiftung, showing twenty photo stories of fifteen different photographers from South-Eastern Europe. Global Arts Corps’ Truth In Translation documentary film was purposefully brought into the photo exhibition to inspire dialogue around the different approaches of dealing with the past in post-conflict regions. The event enjoyed thriving attendance and received overwhelming responses.
