Documentarians: Put the Twitter Down and Back Away with Your Hands Up

Documentary filmmakers are using games, 3-D software, data visualization, Twitter, and other unexpected tools as their cameras and, in the process, are turning the art form inside out. The nonfiction stories created by these panelists defy classification and sometimes blur the line between viewer and participant, hero and victim. Moderated by Wendy Levy (Tomorrow Partners) and featuring Nonny de la Peña (Hunger in Los Angeles), Jigar Mehta (18 Days in Egypt), Hank Willis Thomas (Question Bridge: Black Males), Jeremy Mendes (Bear 71), and Mridu Chandra (Himalaya Song).

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.
