Description

Directed by Jennifer Tiexiera, Camilla Hall | 93 min | USA
Subject explores the life-altering experience of sharing one's life on screen. Through the participants of five famous documentaries, we catch up with the human subjects of Capturing the Friedmans, Hoop Dreams, The Staircase, The Wolfpack, and The Square and discover how being in these films has impacted their lives. As tens of millions of people consume documentaries in an unprecedented "golden era," the film urges audiences to consider the impact on documentary participants —the good, the bad, and the complicated.
FESTIVALS: Tribeca
Preceded by the short film: THE CUBAN WAY
Directed by David Alejandro Ospina | 9 min | Colombia
Surfing on boards made from refrigerator doors and molded with cheese graters, a group of misfits dodges local authorities to create an underground surf culture in Cuba, hoping to catch something much bigger than the perfect wave.
