The first look at Subject is here! Scroll below for a glimpse of this exploration of ethical filmmaking across five acclaimed documentaries and the impacts each had on the participants involved.
Subject explores the life-altering experience of sharing one’s life on screen through key participants of The Staircase, Hoop Dreams, The Wolfpack, Capturing the Friedmans, and The Square. These erstwhile documentary “stars” reveal the highs and lows of their experiences as well as the everyday realities of having their lives put under a microscope. Also featuring commentary from such influential names in the doc world as Kirsten Johnson, Sam Pollard, Thom Powers and Sonya Childress, the film unpacks vital issues around the ethics and responsibility inherent in documentary filmmaking.
On February 17, BFI kick off a special nationwide Q&A UK tour with The Staircase’s Margaret Ratliff + directors Camilla Hall & Jennifer Tiexiera. Book tickets below:
