D-WORD FORUM
From this week’s IFP e-newsletter:
“The recent box office success of politically aware documentaries like Fahrenheit 9/11, The Corporation, Super Size Me, Control Room and Bowling for Columbine has brought unprecedented attention to the genre. And with it, stirred debate among critics, filmmakers and popcorn-guzzling audiences, alike. When is fairness and balance necessary in a documentary? Can filmmakers with an agenda be relied on to be telling the truth? Where does advocacy cross the line and become propaganda?
“From August 9 to 13, join two leading practitioners of the form, Academy Award-winner Pamela Yates (Witness to War, Presumed Guilty) and Jehane Noujaim (Startup.com, Control Room) on The D-Word Forum for a timely and provocative week-long online discussion on The Political Documentary.”
