Movies like "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Super Size Me" had a lasting impact on lots of people who saw them, but they may have even had a more powerful effect on the film industry itself. We'll look at the way the American public views documentaries these days, and how the genre is evolving.

This program was originally broadcast in September 2005.

Hello,

I would like to find a group or organization in southern New Hampshire that focuses on documentary skills. Your guests did not mention whether they offer workshops on film making in the area. (I have just returned from a 3 day class offered by Videomaker magazine (in Chico, CA) and would like to find a group here in New Hampshire.

Is Van McLeod, state commissioner for Cultural Resources, by chance encouraging the film industry here in NH? How?
Will he and Larry Benaquist, chair for the Film Studies Program at Keene State, work together to offer documentary and video workshops?

Your show was good about the path of documentaries in general but uninformative on where New Hampshire folks can get information locally. How can I find out more?

Thank you, Jane Nilles

Jane, Try Chester College of

Jane,

Try Chester College of New England in Chester, NH. I know they are planning a greater focus on documentary film, so there must be faculty and others there who are interested.
