MARCH: A tribute to Michael Glawogger

Exile Room, in collaboration with the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival and the Greek Film Archive, with the support of the Austrian Embassy in Athens, introduces you to the oeuvre of Michael Glawogger, a director who films documentaries like they’re fiction and makes fiction look like documentary. Shooting on 35mm film, he shamelessly manipulates reality, but never betrays it. If you’d like to learn more about his specific doctrine, you can always ask him yourself! On the occasion of the completion of his global trilogy on people at work (1998-2011), Exile Room lures him to Athens right after his Thessaloniki Documentary Festival premiere for three screenings and a unique masterclass.
