Masterclass Visioni Dal Mondo
Nick Broomfiled held a Masterclass, open to the public, on Friday 17 September at the Leonardo da Vinci National Science and Technology Museum. A tribute to his art and experimental cinema. Early in his career Nick was inspired by the observational style of Fred Wiseman, Robert Leacock and Pennebaker, before moving on to the more eclectic style for which he is now known.
Broomfield is famous for working with a minimal crew, just himself and one or two camera operators, which gives his documentaries a distinctive style. His best known works include The Leader the Driver, Aileen Wurnos, Kurt and Courtney, Whitney and Biggie and Tupac.
