Documentaries succeed when viewers feel a connection to their subjects. Archival footage can provide the means to delve deep into the stories and history of a film's characters by bringing the past to life and contextualizing current events. Powerful moments, iconic scenes, and historic figures lend their voice to the message in your film. Whether you're making a historical documentary, referencing a current event, or doing an in-depth profile, archival footage can connect the dots and forge a connection with the viewer.

Moderated by IDA Board Secretary and documentary filmmaker Senain Kheshgi (Project Kashmir, The First Year), our Doc U will take a look at the use of archival footage in American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs, examining the importance of archival footage in telling a full and compelling story. Panelists include American Revolutionary director Grace Lee, producer Austin Wilkin and editor Kim Roberts, and Brendon Mulvihill, Director of Sales, T3Media.
