What gives meaning to an image? And how can editing transform individual shots into a story?
🎞️ On September 2, the Thai Film Archive hosted the Masterclass on Documentary Editing: The Logics of Storytelling, part of the Direct Cinema | Second Ateliers Varan in Bangkok 2026 project.
🎥 Led by documentary editing experts Emmanuelle Baude and Luc Forveille, the masterclass explored editing as a fundamental process in the creation of meaning and storytelling. Through their experience in both documentary and narrative filmmaking, the two editors reflected on the choices behind selecting, sequencing, and assembling images, and on the logic that guides every editorial decision.
Because there is no single rule for editing a documentary, but every choice can open up a different way of seeing, understanding, and telling a story.
📌 The event was part of Through the Lens of Direct Cinema, an advanced documentary filmmaking workshop organised by thaifilmfoundation in collaboration with Ateliers Varan | Formations au cinéma documentaire, with the support of the Ministère de l’Europe et des Affaires étrangères, สถานเอกอัครราชทูตฝรั่งเศสประจำประเทศไทย, Italian Cultural Institute | Bangkok and หอภาพยนตร์ Thai Film Archive.
