In the Information Age, knowledge and data is spreading faster than ever. This technology also makes it possible for information to reach an audience through multiple channels, some of which weren't even in our vocabulary as recently as ten years ago. Despite the deluge of changes and evolutions in the spread of information, documentary filmmakers are still able to find cutting-edge solutions and evolve their storytelling styles to be more innovative than ever before.
These new methods of gripping non-fiction storytelling have created a newfound popularity for theatrical documentaries in recent years. This is usually owed to filmmakers' and producers' willingness to challenge the status quo and dive head-first into the drama, humor, and fascination of real life.
Join moderator RJ Cutler (The September Issue) as he hosts The Rise of Non-Fiction Movies panel, with filmmakers Amir Bar-Lev (The Tillman Story), Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth), Lourdes Portillo (Señorita Extraviada), Ricki Stern (Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work), Molly Thompson (Jesus Camp), and Diane Weyermann (Food, Inc.) as they tackle the current and ever-changing state of the documentary world this Wednesday, October 26 at 7:30pm at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater (8949 Wilshire Blvd. in Beverly Hills).
