Deadline’s Doc Talk Debates: Is The Documentary World Really “Reeling” Over The Oscar Nominations?
This week on Deadline’s 'Doc Talk' podcast: A panel of experts debate about whether the documentary world really is “reeling” over the Oscar nominations.
All the nominated films focused on international subjects – stories from Uganda, Tunisia, Ukraine, India and Chile — and not a single American director was recognized. We are joined by three leaders in the documentary community: Lois Vossen, founding executive producer of the public television series Independent Lens and a member of the Academy’s Doc branch; Iranian filmmaker and former IDA board president Marjan Safinia, also an Academy Doc branch member; and Tom White, the former longtime editor of Documentary magazine and a contributor to Filmmaker magazine, Deadline and other publications. Doc Talk is hosted by Oscar winner John Ridley ( 12 Years a Slave) and Matt Carey, Deadline’s Documentary Editor.
