Compilation: The Art of Reconstruction

This session will be live-translated from Danish to English by Wordly.

Some stories unfold without a camera being present. Perhaps they happened a long time ago. Perhaps they take place somewhere no journalist could gain access. And sometimes the most important thing is simply impossible to film. So how do you get the audience to see, hear and feel it anyway?

In this session Peter Holm dives into the art of reconstruction and presents a wide range of creative examples from around the world. Using everything from actors, puppets and clay animation to sound, graphic devices and stylised universes, he explores how you can bring inaccessible stories to life – without losing immediacy, credibility or emotion along the way.

Look forward to a visual storm of inspiration filled with powerful techniques, surprising solutions and plenty of concrete ideas for how reconstructions can elevate the narrative when reality couldn't be captured on camera.
