Sunday, Mar. 4, noon; Artisan
In person: Fergus O'Brien; Arturo Perez Torres; Brett Morgen; Jason Kohn; Thom Powers
Nonfiction films are breaking through the firewall that separated them from narrative features, pushing stylistic innovations, and sometimes ethical questions, to the limit. Moderator Thom Powers, doc programmer for the Toronto International Film Festival and author of a forthcoming book on cinema verité, lowers the boom on four genrebusting renegades: Jason Kohn (
Manda Bala), Brett Morgen (
Chicago 10,
Nimrod Nation), Fergus O'Brien (
The Armstrongs), and Arturo Perez Torres (
Super Amigos). FREE.
Presented by the Harte Chair in Journalism at MU.
