Panel Discussion

Documentary Film in Times of Revolution

The directors represented in the DOK.guest section will participate in a discussion of key questions concerning the role of documentary-makers in times of revolution. Is the truth also first to die in the revolution? Are the filmmakers in both Egypt and Tunisia widely considered to be activists who are now responsible for positive images that can be carried forward as beacons of the movement? How much critique is necessary? How much responsibility do filmmakers have in the success of a democratic movement towards free and independent media?
