Green Mountain Film Festival 2008

• Saturday, March 17 2:00 pm

Hayes Room, Kellogg-Hubbard Library
With the advent of digital video technologies, webcasting and the commercial box office success of several broadly distributed works in recent years, documentary filmmaking is undergoing a renaissance. This has provided opportunities and challenges to documentary filmmakers: they must still find provocative subjects, gain the trust of the people they film and shape the film through editing, but now must also select an screening showcase - or target an audience - with the plethora of venues made possible by the internet and new media. Four filmmakers discuss contemporary documentary filmmaking in this panel hosted by Kenneth Peck (host of Vermont Public Television’s Reel Independents) and sponsored by the Vermont Film Commission as part of the annual Filmmakers Forum series.
