We are delighted to welcome Canadian producer Bart Simpson in Edinburgh to talk about his experience producing successful campaigning documentaries.
Bart Simpson has produced ‘The Corporation’ (Sundance winner), a documentary exploring the curious history, inner workings, controversial impacts and potential future of corporations, and Frederik Gertten’s ‘Bananas!’, on Nicaraguan banana workers battling against Dole Food and their use of a banned pesticide.
Can films change the world? How do you raise awareness through documentaries? And how do you turn films into movements?
Don’t miss this great opportunity to get an experienced producer’s answers to these burning questions!
FREE but places are limited so please RSVP to flore@scottishdocinstitute.com
