Whose Story is it? Representation, Responsibility and Authorship in Documentary Filmmaking
Event description
Independent filmmaker David Fedele (three films at London Migration Film Festival) leads this interactive workshop on ethical documentary storytelling.
Explore the tough questions: Whose story are we telling? What right do we have to tell it? How do we ensure responsible representation?
David shares his mistakes, lessons learned, and DIY filmmaking approach—from concept through distribution. Open to filmmakers at any stage, plus a special invitation to migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers to learn how to tell their own stories—independently or in collaboration.
Interactive format. Ask questions any time. Debate encouraged!
Please arrive 15mins early for a prompt start

The London Migration Film Festival, which is holding its 10th annual edition from 27 November-3 December 2025, aims to challenge the narrow rhetoric on migration that often sees migration, and people on the move, framed in reductive and dehumanising binaries.
