Here comes the sun—and, with it, the Spring 2014 issue of Documentary magazine!
Yes, it's been a long, cold, lonely winter, but as sure as the jacarandas and cherry blossoms will brighten the landscape again, so will the latest issue, where we offer you tips about Making Your Doc Abroad.
Working with crews, translators, expeditors and fixers...shooting in dangerous places...securing the right insurance for you, your crew and your doc: These are some of some of the many things you need to know about before you pack up your gear and venture into foreign territory in search of the truth. Filmmakers Jehane Noujaim, Ross Kauffmann, Rachel Beth Anderson, Marilyn Ness, Sebastian Junger and Linda Goldstein Knowlton, as well as experts from ProSight Specialty Insurance, share their experiences and insights.
And that's not all!
China is the fastest growing economy in the world, and it's also a looming presence in the documentary community. We take a look at some of the key players in this vital market.
Finally, Ramona Diaz shares her impressions of Morocco, where she shared her film Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey with a range of audiences, and taught an intensive doc-making workshop, all under the auspices of the American Film Showcase.
Elsewhere in the Spring issue, we also talk to Oscar-nominated filmmaker Rithy Panh about his upcoming release, The Missing Picture; educators/media artists B. Ruby Rich and John Jota Leaños talk about their SocDoc masters program at University of California, Santa Cruz; and IDA Award nominee Jason Osder writes about how Jeff Malmberg's Marwencol inspired his filmmaking career.
So stow away your parkas and boots and embrace the season of renewal; join IDA today and get Documentary magazine year-round: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter!
