As part of the interdisciplinary seminar Montageforum, in which we invite editors and their films to talk about their work in the editing room, about the special challenges and their solutions, but also about the pleasure of film editing, we will show the documentary “Pushing Boundaries” (Switzerland 2021). Guest: Gesa Marten, Lesia Kordonets.
