And how much of a so-called documentary is really document? These blurry lines are explored and become starting points for discussions about both forms. Why would some narrative filmmakers choose to introduce documentary elements to their films? Why do some documentaries use narrative strategies to make a more convincing argument? And what happens when the two forms are grafted to create a hybrid? By weaving together a variety of types of documentary, fiction, and hybrid films with discussions with the filmmakers about chosen tactics, intriguing questions arise around the desire in both genres to present and expose universal truths. Featuring Mina Shum, Velcrow Ripper, Ann Marie Fleming, Linda Ohama, Guy Maddin, Peg Campbell, Norma Baily, Mary Daniel and others. <52mn 32s>Language:EnglishDetailed holdings information: -
