C21 Media is dedicating a season to documentary directors, in which it profiles and interviews some of the most important filmmakers working in the field today. It also highlights some of the difficulties facing directors making documentaries in the present climate, and how they have dealt with problems of funding, access and more besides.
The season began with a study into how, increasingly, documentaries are moving away from the conventional format and looking to other genres to tell stories. Thrillers such as The Bourne Identity and the James Bond movies are influencing how directors think about their documentaries, with James Marsh's "heist thriller" Man on Wire used as an example of how this new approach can bring success.
The article includes interviews with Rick Goldsmith (co-director, The Most Dangerous Man In America: Daniel Ellsberg And The Pentagon Papers), Oscar-winning filmmaker Louie Psihoyos (The Cove) and others too.
