Guests include DCTV’s Co-Executive Director and documentary filmmaking journeyman Jon Alpert who discusses the documentary resource center’s latest exciting project, “Our Cameras, Our Stories“. The project is a series of documentaries made by the members of their youth filmmaker program. The 6-part series will broadcast on WNET Channel Thirteen beginning Saturday, October 4th at 1:30 PM and continue for the following 5 consecutive weeks.
“The Decent One” filmmaker Vanessa Lapa chats about her feature documentary, her first, which is something of a hybrid. The film has actors reading the letters and diaries of Heinrich Himmler and his wife, which creates a strange dichotomy between this seemingly loving father & husband, and the man who is considered the architect of the Final Solution. The film has currently having a two week theatrical engagement at Film Forum in NYC and is being distributed by Kino Lorber.
Finally, the co-directors behind the new hybrid film, “Last Hijack“, Femke Wolting and Tommy Pallotta stop by. Their film which uses components of narrative filmmaking, documentary and animation, tells the story of Mohamed, a Somali pirate.
