Discussion Forum
Fri 19th Oct
12noon - 1.45pm
CCA5
Using controversial 'Horror Movie' (Evening Times 11 Sept) As
It Is as a case study, the filmmakers talk to contributors,
youth organisations, commissioners and community members about
the apparent lack of ethics in news gathering and documentary
fi lmmaking when the subject is of sensationalist, nevermind
sensitive, nature.
Paul Watson One to
One
(NUJ & Autonomi) chaired by Doug Aubrey
Sat 20th Oct
3.00pm-4.45pm
CCA 5
From The Family to Malcolm and Barbara, this talk will be about
how to survive as an ethically driven and stylistically experimenting
documentary fi lmmaker. With a career spanning over 40 years,
Paul is coined the father of the reality genre, and is now in
prime position to give us an upfront and honest view on the
current state of documentary in television. If indeed the father,
he's not proud of the 'bastard offspring' he's allegedly responsible
for.
The session will open with the screening of Watson's acclaimed
The Fishing Party.
It is highly recommended to watch both Rain in My Heart (Fri
8.30pm-10.30pm CCA5) and Malcolm and Barbara (Fri
2.00pm- 3.15pm CCA5) in the festival before attending
this session.

CCA 4
With a focus on sharing experiences, NUJ and Diversity Films
invite all documentary fi lmmakers, camera people, journalists,
photographers and media workers in general to partake in a lively
chat about how media practices, products and outlets differ
across our globe. Why is it diffi cult for people from the new
communities to fi nd employment in the Scottish and English
media sector? Does the UK hold higher ethical and employment
standards than do many other nations? www.diversityfilms.org.uk
