Introduction :

One of the advantages of working with documentary and non-fiction film is that most anything and everything is possible! Instead of the filmmaker being restricted by a script or actors as in feature fiction film, or by being limited to certain subjects, styles or storytelling approaches, documentary filmmakers have the possibility to create their films with the freedom of having many choices at their disposal. This panel will explore various approaches in contemporary documentary film, including aesthetic and stylistic choices, form and structure, and creative ways of storytelling. We will discuss the place of creative documentary in the global landscape of non-fiction film, and also the intersection of creativity and art with documentary realism, reportage, and journalism.
