Documentary Film: Future, Conscience, and Possibility

What roles should documentary film play in the next 20 years? Is its aim to entertain, to instruct. or to push the envelope of our social conscience? What are the responsibilities, philosophy, and aims of the big distributors? What might they be, or what should they be? Who makes the decisions? Panelists Ken Brecher (Moderator), Executive Director, Sundance Institute; Nick Frasre, Storyville, BBC; Pat Mitchell, PBS; Sheila Nevins, HBO/Cinemax

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.
