Documentary Film Festivals and Social Change

Consulate General of Canada in Mumbai and Avid Learning present a fascinating live discussion as part of a virtual week – From Silver Screen to Your Screen – that promises to be a multiplex of film appreciation covering diverse aspects from archiving to critiquing, from documentaries for social change to screen writing for digital platforms. President of HotDocs Festival Chris McDonald in conversation with Film Journalist Nandini Ramnath will speak on the role of the documentary film festival as a powerful platform to instrument change on ground and expand their reach and impact in the world and for the issues they showcase and support. Chris will touch upon what documentary films and filmmaking will look like post COVID and how the festival circuit will evolve and adapt to supporting and distributing these films and highlighting their causes. 

Join us to understand the evolving role of the documentary festival and how these platforms can powerfully impact change on-ground.
