The 2019 IFI Documentary Film Festival runs from September 25-29, presenting the best new documentary filmmaking from across the world - and we're delighted to give one Culture reader a pair of tickets to the Opening Night film, The Amazing Jonathan, screening at the IFI Dublin on Wednesday, September 25th at 8,30pm.
The lines between illusion and reality become hopelessly blurred for director Benjamin Berman when he films the comeback tour of The Amazing Johnathan, a celebrity magician-comedian who, given a year to live in 2014, retired from public life, only to find himself still alive three years later. With filming underway, the mercurial Johnathan drops a bombshell which forces Berman to choose between giving up on the project, or embracing the unconventional possibilities it affords, resulting in an unclassifiable, meta-textual puzzle, that deconstructs and questions the principles of documentary filmmaking.
