The renowned documentary filmmakers John Bridcut and Bruno Monsaingeon shared their expertise in the IMZ Academy Session at Master of Art Film Festival in Sofia, Bulgaria from 10-11 April!
In cooperation with the Master of Art Film Festival, this IMZ Academy Session presented the French director Bruno Monsaingeon and the British director John Bridcut, two of the most acclaimed music documentary film makers in the world.
In a conversation with IMZ Academy Director Peter Maniura, himself a distinguished documentary director, they delved into the secrets of what makes a really good music documentary with examples drawn from their own work and discuss the challenges and rewards of working with great artists from Glenn Gould to Jonas Kaufmann.
