Documentary cinematographer Joan Churchill and Alan Barker will lead a workshop in what they call "experiential" filmmaking. An evolution of Direct Cinema, this is an engaged, first-person, present-tense technique. The camera's point of view is that of an engaged participant, not a "fly on the wall." As with Direct Cinema there are no interviews or other past-tense devices. There is no illusion of objectivity. The emphasis is on engagement and process with the camera being used as a tool for relating and revealing rather than hunting for interesting angles and pretty pictures.
