Industry Talks and Sessions
What are the questions the documentary industry can’t ignore right now? This year’s Industry Talks and Sessions bring together filmmakers, artists, industry professionals and experts to debate the issues shaping the field, from creative practices and new technologies to the politics and ethics of documentary creation. The program invites the community to look closely at how films and new media projects are made, funded, shared and preserved for the future, but also how we look at and treat those from the past, and what it means to do this work in the current cultural, societal, and geopolitical moment.
