Sports documentary filmmaking continues to capture large audiences across many platforms. Films, defined in many ways, are being produced and screened globally for an expanding audience. The panel looks to gather faculty/filmmakers who are working in the sub-genre and investigate how students can develop their creative voices working at a convergent point of art and sport. Panelists will share their experiences, both hits and misses, with creating compelling films in the classroom. Issues, trends and critical concepts regarding the past, present and future thoughts of sports documentary filmmaking will also be discussed.
Moderator: Jordan Mark Kligerman, Syracuse University
Panelists: Karen Bullis, Austin Peay State University; Geoffrey Thompson, University of Florida
