.....Many
of today's documentary filmmakers come out from behind the camera
rather than passively filming. Such directors as Michael Moore
and Nick Broomfield play a visible, even catalytic role in their
documentaries, flagrantly violating rules of cinema-verité
filmmaking. This seminar will examine the reasons and ways a
filmmaker becomes involved in the documentary processfrom extensive
use of narration to the aggressive pursuit of subjects. Panelists
will also explore the ethical implications of the director becoming
a participant.
Panelists include:
Alan Berliner ( The Sweetest Sound ,
Intimate Stranger )
Chris Hegedus ( Startup.com , The
War Room )
DA Pennebaker ( Don't Look Back ,
Monterey Pop )
Chris Wilcha ( The Target Shoots First
, Secondhand Stories ) |
