What are the moral imperatives governing documentarians working in countries and cultures other than their own–especially countries in which the national film industry is developing, struggling or simply nonexistent? Do local filmmakers have territorial privilege? Is the outsider an intruder or a crucial witness? In conversation with Pat Aufderheide, Center for Social Media at American University, Kim Longinotto (The Day I Will Never Forget); Thierry Michel (Iran, Veiled Appearances); and Elaine Epstein (State of Denial) examine these principles and share the challenges they faced in creating their latest works.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
