The filmmaker/subject relationship can make or break a documentary film. Issues of trust, friendship, dependency, and motivation for making the film can confuse the complex boundary between the director and his or her subject. Moderator Catherine Olsen, CBC Newsworld, and panelists Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman(Born Into Brothels); Adi Barash and Ruthie Shatz (Garden); Kim Dong-won (Repatriation); and David Petersen (Let the Church Say Amen) probe these emotional and ethical issues.

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.
