From its launch in 2015, Double Exposure has been recording nearly all of its symposium sessions, in the firm belief that these compelling conversations would have value for many more journalists, filmmakers, and audiences than could attend Double Exposure in person.
DX² is our tenth anniversary thanks to the vibrant community of storytellers and truth-seekers who have contributed to Double Exposure over the years.

From discussions about the use of A.I. deepfakes in filmmaking, to a masterclass on fictionalizing investigative stories, this year’s symposium lineup is packed with compelling sessions you won’t want to miss.
