Festival Talk Documentary Filmmakers on Style and Substance

In 1991, American film critic and theoretician Bill Nichols proposed that there were six different modes of documentary—poetic, expository, reflexive, observational, performative, and participatory—each containing its own specific characteristics. Particular elements of these modes that documentary films can incorporate include vérité, archival, reenactments, direct interviews, and using animation or black-and-white footage. Join independent documentary producer Kathleen Lingo as she talks with Festival filmmakers Cristina Costantini (Sally), Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (Folktales), Brittany Shyne (Seeds), and Julie Forrest Wyman (The Tallest Dwarf) about how each of them chose the respective style and form for each of their films. This talk is free and open to the public, RSVP required.
