“We Freed Ourselves from Conventional Documentary Ethics”: Directors Alex Rivera and Cristina Ibarra | The Infiltrators
Whenever directors watch their own films, they always do so with the knowledge that there are moments that occurred during their production — whether that’s in the financing and development or shooting or post — that required incredible ingenuity, skill, planning or just plain luck, but whose difficulty is invisible to most spectators.

Sundance Notebook: Sexuality on Screen, Herzog in the Snow and America’s Shameful Past… and Present

Instead, the month of celebrations that culminates with the debutante ball […]
