On the other hand; we think we can tell non-fiction from fiction. But how can we be sure at a glance what it is we’re looking at? How is that we can tell? Is non-fiction always based on facts? Can something really be pure fiction or pure fact?
Guest lesson Fact or Fiction?
You instantly know what you’re looking at as you’re zapping, swiping or scrolling through videos, films and television programmes. You can usually tell within seconds if something is fiction or non-fiction. If it’s real or scripted, a gripping feature film or a documentary. Fact or fiction?
Still from Helaas ben je het niet geworden (2017, Anne van Campenhout & Nicky Maas).
The power of the camera
Turn your classroom into a cinema for an hour and take your students into the special world of Fact & Fiction. On the basis of a documentary, the students and the filmmakers embark on a journey of discovery in the cinematic world of fact and fiction. The maker enters into a surprising conversation with the students about the power of the camera, editing, sound and scenario.
Objective and factual
The film quiz with its many clips allows pupils to apply the knowledge they have just acquired. Now that they are more alert: how objective and factual is Reality TV, or a vlog?
Fact or Fiction? is a collaboration between Eye and IDFA.
