Even though the first animated documentary (The Sinking of the Lusitania) was released in 1918, the genre was considered as a paradox for a long time, and needed a couple of quite powerful\u00a0breakthroughs\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Waltz with Bashir\u00a0and\u00a0Flee \u2013\u00a0to win recognition from the wider audience and industry decision-makers.\u00a0Today animation\u2019s use in documentary filmmaking has truly flourished. More and more filmmakers are finding their creative freedom and new exciting challenges in this genre.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DocuDays UA<\/a>, a Ukranian Human Rights Film Festival, invited Piotr Kardas, a film curator specialising in animated documentaries, and Alex Widdowson, a London-based multi-award-winning animated documentary director and researcher specialising in the representation of neurodivergence and psychology,\u00a0to talk about how documentary and animation can be used and mixed creatively in filmmaking, as well as how to find a balance between the seemingly limitless potential of animation and the duty of a documentary filmmaker to create authentic and ethical representations of people and the world.<\/p>\n
