Meet us at the Doc Edge Forum 2011

Documentaries and Activism – The Rise of Socially Responsible Documentaries.

Facilitated by Quijing Wong, Pamela Yates, Paco de Onis, Stefano Levi, Dean Easterbrook, Annie Goldson.

Increasingly, filmmakers are finding voices for social causes through their documentaries and organizations are becoming more aware of the power of documentaries to bring their message to audiences. This might provide a new avenue of funding for filmmakers. For anyone interested in this topic, this session will be held at the WA Auckland University of Technology on February 26th, at 16:30.

THE DOCUMENTARY

Out of the Darkness is an independent documentary about Nepali eye-surgeon Dr. Sanduk Ruit and and his American colleague Dr. Geoff Tabin, who trek to a remote village in the Himalayas carrying an entire hospital on porter's back. There they operate cataract-blinded patients who normally would not have any access to health-care services. With 25USD and 5 minutes per blinded eye they restore the sight of cataract-blinded people in developing countries with a quality that equals western standards where these operation cost between 1000 and 5000 USD. "Out of the Darkness" is Stefano Levi's debut feature documentary.
