In celebration of the 25th season of PBS’ groundbreaking documentary series Pov, Filmmaker is this week running a four-part conversation series between two non-fiction directors with close ties to the show. A few weeks ago, award-winning documentarian Natalia Almada – whose new film, El Velador, airs tonight as part of the 2012 Pov season — and Sin País director Theo Rigby, a photographer-turned-filmmaker, sat down to talk about a variety of issues that arise from their work. Through the course of the discussion, Almada and Rigby share where they’ve been, where they are now, and where they’re heading while dissecting different viewpoints of their craft.
In this final part, Almada and Rigby talk about technology’s role in documentary filmmaking.
Rigby: Coming into filmmaking full-force the past three to five years, technology and digital technology have exponentially grown since then. But I’ve worked on film as well and it’s...
