This panel focuses on three of the films in this year's festival – Film About a Father Who, Bad Attitude: The Art of Spain Rodriguez, 100 Years from Mississippi and Now Return Us to Normal – films where the makers turn the camera towards themselves and their lives to create personal essays, and stories that address and acknowledge the oft silent role of maker. Panelists will discuss their films, process of poiesis, and more.
