Artist Talk: “Breaking and Remaking the Character-Driven Documentary“
Empathy for individual protagonists, and their story arcs, are the lifeblood of many documentary films. What are some drawbacks of character-driven storytelling, and how can we expand documentary vocabulary and form to convey complex stories of power and collectivity? Stephen Maing will draw on his own films and experiences to explore these timely and critical questions.
