Citizenfour
Cinema Rudolfinum II
Laura Poitras, the Academy Award-winning director, filmed her new documentary film Citizenfour, a complex and volatile character study that collides with a high stakes election year and its controversial aftermath.
Cornered in a tiny building for half a decade, Julian Assange is undeterred even as the legal jeopardy he faces threatens to undermine the organisation he leads and fracture the movement he inspired. Capturing this story with unprecedented access, Poitras finds herself caught between the motives and contradictions of Assange and his inner circle.
Citizenfour, d.: Laura Poitras, USA, 2014, 114 min
