Moving Worlds Symposium: Documentary Film, Social Media and Community Engagement

31.05.2010

 

 

We invite you to participate in a lively discussion about the dynamic potential of documentary film and social media in building social justice campaigns. How can documentary films from their development through to distribution engage diverse audiences? How can social media facilitate a move beyond one-way broadcasts, mobilizing audiences as participants, advocates and storytellers? Drawing on screenings, film excerpts and case studies from a range of creative and cultural contexts, these questions will be explored by an outstanding panel of international filmmakers, producers and communications specialists situated in the USA, South Africa and Britain.

Participants to include: Francois Verster, Director of Undercurrent Film & Television, South Africa; Ellen Schneider, Director of Active Voice, USA; Howard Pyle, Global Director of Digital Platforms, Ogilvy & Mather, USA; Sarah Mosses, Good Screenings Producer, BritDoc, UK.
