Method, Innovation, and Multi-Tasking in Contemporary Documentary
It's back-to-back events on the first Saturday morning in March!
Director Phil Cox is in town to screen his new film about
Pittsburgh-raised funk pioneer Betty Davis, Betty: They Say I'm Different. He
has kindly offered to lead two sessions--one for filmmakers, one for everyone:
FOR FILMMAKERS: The Doctor Is In
Do you have a half-developed documentary idea, or one that's half-shot, or
half-edited? Send Phil info about it by Feb. 28, and he'll sit down and help
you move it to the next level. Sessions can be private or in a group, your
choice, and are scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Use this
form to submit your film description*. These
sessions (15-20 min each) are FREE, courtesy of Phil and Pittsburgh Filmmakers.

FOR FILMGOERS and FILMMAKERS: Contemporary Documentary Filmmaking
How does a documentary get from notion to motion picture? Director Phil Cox
gives a workshop on methods of documentary filmmaking. He will break down
scenes and rushes from individual films, look at the options modern documentary
filmmakers have at their disposal to create their stories, discuss how to make
connections with subjects, and talk about the everyday production and
multi-tasking issues that filmmakers deal with. This session is listed
as "Pay What You Can."
