"THE CHANGING DOCUMENTARY—TECHNIQUES, TRICKS AND TRI-CONT".

Round table in St. Xavier's College, Mumbai.

We enjoyed meeting Sharmi, Meenakshi and Kavita and and discussing around documentary film making with the other film makers and the students who attended the panel.


Human rights and documentary are joining forces to powerful effect. Today activists, filmmakers and artists increasingly use the tools of filmmaking while addressing issues. The result—independent, innovative and technologically advanced documentary cinema. Join the filmmakersas they discuss the space between issues, art and moving images. Hear from experts working globally about the growing use of filmic storytelling in human-rights work.

Breakthrough's Tri-Continental Film Festival, India 2009—"Human Rights in Frames" and The Mumbai Festival bring to you a panel discussion on "THE CHANGING DOCUMENTARY—TECHNIQUES, TRICKS AND TRI-CONT".
