Documentary has become a kind of new space in the culture. A lot of the films are about social concerns, and in a way, are a new form of media. . . . Making a documentary has become sort of trendy, a little like what writing children's books was a few years ago. But what I've noticed is, once documentary filmmakers get locked in, they really get locked in. They may have started off thinking they're going to do something relatively quick and casual, and then it takes them over. Sean Farnel

![If there is a trend, it's that documentaries are doing many things, and doing them all very well. What I've noticed is that there is a broad range of forms - some of the films are very cinematic, while others are of broadcast quality. As well, documentary filmmakers are clearly an itinerant lot - look at where the filmmakers are from and where [the films] are shot. This is indeed a very international film festival. - Sean Farnel Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=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&author=ICBTZWFuIEZhcm5lbCAgICA=&num=2 "If there is a trend, it's that documentaries are doing many things, and doing them all very well.
