All about Me? How to Walk the Line between Getting Personal and Oversharing in Autobiographical Storytelling

September 18 Wednesday, 4:30pm | Oakley Center

Uli-DeckerChristophe-Kone-scaled

Uli Decker, Filmmaker & author in conversation with Christophe Koné, Associate Professor of German at Williams College.

Taking the documentary ANIMA – My Father’s Dresses as a point of departure, we will discuss the sharp line between personal and private and how to navigate it in autobiographical storytelling. How can a personal story be told in a way that lifts it from one person’s private experience to a story that touches broader audiences? What role can formal decisions, visual style, music and sound design etc. play in the process?

RSVP here to join the conversation.
