In The Dark
In The Dark is a unique organisation dedicated to celebrating and enriching the culture of radio documentary in the UK. As part of LIDF 2010′s conversation in documentary In The Dark will host a series of live “listenings”, discussions and Q&A’s, that will allow audiences to close their eyes and open their ears to a world of aural story telling.
In an age when the image dominates, In The Dark’s programme of events explores how the craft of radio feature-making has continued to evolve both inside and outside Britain. Running alongside LIDF’s programme of films and photography, it will ask how story-telling through sound continues to enrich documentary culture as a whole.
Among the international guests will be Canadian independent producer, Chris Brookes; Norwegian Radio’s Head of the Radio Documentaries, Berit Hedemann; and British composer, sound designer and radio producer, Nina Perry. Each will be presenting their work and taking part in Q&A’s, as well as a discussion on the crafted feature in the digital age.
Curating and chairing the main events is one of the UK’s leading independent radio producers, Alan Hall (Falling Tree Productions).
