Entertaining Docs with Something To Say
Referring to documentaries Pat Aufderheid writes, "The current wave mixes plenty of entertainment value with attitude and information".
But what's more impressive, and indicative of where docs are going, is the approach of documentarians with Something to Say."Docs can become victims of the seriousness of the subject matter," which is why hard-hitting arguments need compelling craft, noted Eugene Jarecki...
"We live in a world where documentary film -- independent documentary film -- has truly become the last bastion of free speech," Morgan Spurlock, the director of "Super Size Me," recently declared to a cheering audience at Aspen Filmfest. And it's also a world where, as Spurlock's own entertaining and lucrative film demonstrates, docs have become a very real option for top-quality entertainment.
