The documentary field continues to evolve as it grapples with issues of accountability, equity, and situatedness; that is, the ways the filmmakers’ own experiences (historically, culturally, familially and personally) shape how they interpret and respond to the world around them. Now more than ever, filmmakers must find ways to incorporate meaningful collaboration in their work. The filmmaking team from Fire Through Dry Grass will share how they successfully addressed “connection to the story” in their grant applications, and what they have learned from being inclusive in their filmmaking practices.
This panel is presented in partnership with the International Documentary Association.
