In this video from the 2014 edition of IDFA, film theorist Bill Nichols gives a philosophical insight into how documentaries interact with the world around them. What social forces determine what movies are made in general, and what could that say about today’s world? Renowned documentary theorist, journalist and professor Bill Nichols, writer of the authoritative guide ‘Introduction to Documentary’, will reflect on the state of documentary in 2014, not only in terms of aesthetics but also in terms of content.
Moderator: Neil Young (Hollywood Reporter)
Guest: Bill Nichols (Film Quarterly, San Francisco State University)
