Keeping up with Documentary: Exploring the Relationship Between Form and Value   As part of the DOC NOW documentary media festival put on by the graduating students of Ryerson’s Documentary Media Master of Fine Arts program, DOC will be sponsoring a panel exploring what the documentary form looks like today and how it is changing. Once solely associated with film and photography, documentary has now become a much broader category of artistic endeavour. Reality TV, docu-soaps and gaming are transforming what it means to capture reality.  Mobile devices, e-books and web sites are extending documentary's reach  onto new platforms and morphing traditional storytelling techniques. Audience participation once meant a Q&A with the director after a screening; now, it starts before a single frame is shot, with community building, crowdfunding, etc. Even print publications and advocacy organizations are getting into documentary production. What does it all mean?   Join us for a debate about the limits, the pulse, and the future of the genre in the 21st Century.  Moderator:Katie McKenna - Interactive Producer / Interim Chair, Documentary Organization of Canada Panelists: Monika Berenyi - Master’s Candidate for the Documentary Media Program, RyersonManfred Becker - Filmmaker, Student and TeacherEric Geringas - Filmmaker Bruno Lessard - Assistant Professor at the School of Image Arts, Ryerson See you there!
