Immediate Response – Documentary Panel
Immediate Response – Documentary Panel
In times when reality surpasses any script, it often feels necessary to confront it directly and document it. How do we approach this task correctly? Content editors, producers, and managers from documentary departments will discuss the current overflow of events. We'll explore questions such as: What distinguishes a standout project? How can reality be transformed into art? What direction is documentary cinema taking in contemporary Israeli reality? And how should we approach storytelling from a broad perspective?
Participants: Gili Gaon, director of the documentary department of KAN 11; Hilla Medalia (“Wanted: Roni Kalderon” “Mourning in Lod”); Ron Goldman, art director of the New Israel Fund for Film and TV; Nilly Kalmar - CoPro fund’s program director; Barak Heymann, documentary producer and director (“Jonathan Agassi Saved My Life”). This panel will be hosted by Ido Weisman (“Requiem for a Whale”).
