“Justine” to screen at the World Documentary Film & TV Conference 2014
To contribute to world cinema documentary studies and to film theory/practice debates, the World Documentary Film & TV Conference aims to bring together international scholars and film practitioners. It seeks to critically examine historical and contemporary world documentary films and factual television productions, whose analyses have been developed across many disciplines, but rarely discussed in one place.

“Justine”: resources
Justine rarely speaks.
She communicates through looking, gesture and the body language of her movement and interactions. What can be understood across the language divide?
This documentary portrait of a young woman living with severe neurological disorders observes the close rhythms of her days in the run-up to her milestone birthday, at a crucial moment for Britain’s strained welfare system.
“Cinematically, the film represents Justine with breathtaking delicacy and sets a high ethical bar that challenges future filmmakers to rise to the same level of awareness and respect when documenting the lives of disabled individuals.”
Cineaste review of Justine by Deirdre Boyle, Winter 2015
Professor Michael Renov, one of the pioneering thinkers and theorists of Documentary Studies (of the School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California, L.A., U.S.A.) discusses the making of Justine and its relationship to the documentary tradition with director Pratap Rughani, and the absence of documentaries about people like Justine which refuse to be defined by a deficit model.
