BT 2017 | Raoul Peck | "Shock Of The Real: History as Provocation"

Acclaimed Haitian filmmaker Raoul Peck has created a body of work in documentary and fiction distinguished by its critical engagement and intellectual courage. Taking on such specters of postcolonial injustice as underdevelopment, racism and communal violence, Peck’s films illuminate the personal stories and contradictory experiences of those individuals often treated by history and cinema as faceless, invisible, silent. This year's Berlinale features two new Peck films: the fictional The Young Karl Marx in Berlinale Special and I Am Not Your Negro, a documentary based on an unfinished manuscript by James Baldwin in Panorama. In the 50th year of the dffb, Peck, a graduate of the Berlin film school, reflects on his cinematic journey. Moderated by Ben Gibson.
In cooperation with Berlinale Panorama, Berlinale Special and dffb.

Mr. Peck is about the business of raising our level of consciousness about the world we live in and how we can make it better.
