true/false film fest

"For any documentarian, True/False is nirvana. You walk down the streets of Columbia and you are stopped by students and secretaries, college professors and construction workers, sales reps for 3M and Oscar Meyer -- and they all want to talk to you about your film, the intricacies of its subject and the aesthetic choices made! This is the way it's supposed to be and never is: the town lives and breathes docs. The appreciation, sophistication and enthusiasm of the audience is an inspiration. When I went to True/False, I remembered what I sometimes forget: the unalloyed joy of making and watching docs."
-- Alex Gibney, Oscar-winning director, Taxi to the Dark Side, and 2008 True Vision honoree
