Last Spring, EMU colleague Nadia Bazzy and I gave a presentation on the new role of filmmakers in presenting their work and engaging the public. The talk is titled "Seeing Ourselves, Healing Our Lives; the Role of Television and Film in Trauma Healing".
This month A.U.'s Center for Social Media (one of my favorite advocacy groups ever) presents an article along the same lines. The group highlights case studies of three filmmakers "eager to bring their stories and issues to broad audiences, to spark conversation across boundaries of difference, mobilize communities around issues, and influence public policies. In the process, they have created networks—of funders, broadcasters, outreach specialists, festivals, and distribution channels—to sustain continuing documentary work."
