Who relates the rich tapestry of world cultures, from the back alleys of Calcutta to presidential politics? Documentary filmmakers have the power to show us different points of view and expose us to different places, people and even planets. They expand our horizons, explore the universe, and relate their point of view.
Behind every film is the story of its genesis, the reasons that the director and producer became involved in the project, and the way the film took shape. Films like Dear Zachary and 51 Birch Street were begun with one project in mind, but then morphed into something totally different during production. This is the place to learn about the story behind the film, film festivals, director profiles, and much more.
