Industry Talk Solidarity With Filmmakers At Risk

IDFA Podcast

Industry Talk: Solidarity with Filmmakers at Risk This episode features the recording of the IDFA 2018 Industry Talk: Solidarity with Filmmakers at Risk With civil society shrinking in many parts of the world, documentary filmmakers are increasingly struggling to make their voices heard, leading to their arrest, imprisonment and sometimes even murder. IDFA invited filmmakers and other stakeholders to share their experiences, and to try to outline a possible coordinated strategy for action, a strategy that effectively serves filmmakers at risk. Guests - among others - are: Maxim Tuula (Marx Film), Tuki Jencquel (Oninokia Filmproduktion), Steven Markovitz (Big World Cinema), Andrea Kuhn (Human Rights Film Network), Cara Mertes (JustFilms, Ford Foundation), Claire Aguilar (International Documentary Association), Jess Search (Doc Society), Julie Trebault (Artists at Risk Connection, PEN America), Rasmus Steen (International Media Support), and Rebecca Lichtenfeld (Bertha Foundation). This session was moderated by Boris Dittrich - human rights activist, former politician and writer - and was recorded on November 18, 2018
