Silverdocs: In Other Blogs
A perhaps too-late nod to other coverage of Silverdocs. David Wilson at indieWire offered 9 Great Silverdocs Moments, after gushing about Artistic Director Sky Sitney, writing that “any additional responsibilities seem only to have spurred Sitney to greater triumphs, as the fest put forth what was arguably its strongest lineup of films ever, and further cemented its position as one of the most important gathering spots for the US documentary industry.”
Well, OK. Wilson also referred to downtown Silver Spring as a “bizarro downtown mall,” which we’re not entirely clear on. But he agreed with us about Supermen of Malegaon, calling it “sublime.”
Cineuropa says that “for European documentaries, the Silverdocs Documentary Film Festival is a springboard for recognition.”
Other blogs of note with Silverdocs mentions (and worth following in general): AJ Schnack’s All These Wonderful Things. Schnack, of course, is the director of Convention, which featured prominently at this year’s event.
Also, check out Pamela Cohn’s Still In Motion blog, as well as Filmmaker Magazine’s blog, to which she contributes.
Ted Hope’s Truly Free Film is full of provocation and insight. Hope is the producer of the recent indie darling, Adventureland. Most recent posts include the timely Preparing for a Film Festival and Festival Goals.
And, of course, Scott Kirsner’s CinemaTech blog is indespensible.
