Live Streaming Webcast: Exploring Myths of Filmmaking and Funding

For Press Inquiries:

ITVS is hosting a special live streaming webcast on Monday, February 8 at 7:30 PM PST of the San Francisco Film Society (SFFS)’s Arts Forum, a bi-monthly workshop that includes dynamic presentations, topical panels, works-in-progress screenings, and trade secrets.

Beyond the Box will be streaming the event live on Monday so filmmakers across the country ––and around the world –– can learn more. The forum, entitled “Thinking Outside the Doc Box,” is designed to explode the myth that funders and broadcasters only want one kind of film.

The evening will feature a keynote address by ITVS Senior Programming Manager Richard Saiz. Karen Everett, owner of New Doc Editing will give an overview of innovative structural approaches to documentaries and Michele Turnure-Salleo, director of filmmaker services at SFFS, will address the topic of institutional funding of documentaries. The evening will conclude with a conversation between Saiz and Everett about contemporary issues in documentary production and questions from the live audience.

We hope you’ll take advantage of this great opportunity. The discussion will begin streaming on Monday, February 8 at 7:30 PM PST.
