Frontline Storytelling: War Reporting Across Mediums

14 Jun, 2025, 1.00 PM @ Atelier Gardens

Event language: English

How can we capture the immediacy of war through video, photography, and words? In recent years, conflicts have continued to erupt—but what has fundamentally changed is how we access and experience them. Thanks to the rise of social media and mobile technology, scenes from the frontlines are more visible than ever. This session will examine the evolving role of media and filmmakers in this shifting landscape, how they balance personal engagement with objectivity, and the critical safety measures taken when reporting from conflict zones.
