Tribeca Talks: Pen to Paper hosted by Barnes & Noble Union Square -- Based on True Events
Tribeca Talks[TTBAS] | 2011 | 60 min | Panel
USA
Writers who turn true events into films must grapple with how much truth to include or embellish to meet their cinematic ambition. If your source material is based on true events, who is the writer responsible to? From what to dramatize to what to omit, writers and filmmakers face the inevitable question: Where is the line between a great narrative film and the truth of the events. Join Steven Silver, director and screenwriter of The Bang Bang Club; photographer and co-author of The Bang Bang Club: Snapshots from a Hidden War Greg Marinovich; Adam Kassen and Mark Kassen, directors of Puncture; and Chris Lopata, screenwriter of Puncture, for a conversation about how far over the line writers are allowed to go.

Tribeca Talks: Pen to Paper hosted by Barnes & Noble Union Square -- Writing the Documentary

USA
Whether you're following the story of a little league team struggling to win a championship or diving into the story of how the television was invented, the term "writing the documentary" might not occur to you as you watch the drama unfold before your eyes. What most people don't realize is that documentaries also begin with the blank page and an idea. Join David Gelb, director of Jiro Dreams of Sushi, Maria Ramström, director of Love Always, Carolyn, Mila Turajlic, director of Cinema Komunisto, and others for a discussion about how that idea is turned into a narrative. Moderated by The Hollywood Reporter's David Rooney. Read More

In the past few years, film conversation has consumed itself with how digital innovation is reshaping our industry. As discussions constantly look to the future of filmmaking, we turn the discussion back. Join author, television host and Variety editorial director Peter Bart and Tribeca Enterprises chief creative officer Geoffrey Gilmore for a chat about filmmaking in the New Hollywood era of the late-1960s and early-1970s. From the larger-than-life personalities and conflicts that resulted in some of the most acclaimed films of a generation, to the funny anecdotes that captured the world, we take a look back at a time that changed how stories were told. Bart will also sign copies of his new memoir Infamous Players: A Tale of Movies, The Mob, (And Sex). Read More
