Abstract

In the past two decades, the largest exhibition opportunities for documentary films have lain within the television market, making filmmakers bound to the influences of the broadcasters, their largest funding source. In this interview, Thierry Garrel, who stood at the foundation of the Franco-German public service broadcaster ARTE in the early ’90s, discusses the needs of the public broadcaster and the role of documentary festivals in film curation and programming.
