Bloomberg Green Docs Part 1: The Judges
Description
This week is all about the Bloomberg Green Docs festival, held in Seattle on July 12, 2024. Thanks to Bloomberg Climate, especially Emily Anton and Courtney J. Boland, I interviewed most of the judges and all of the five finalists.
Taken altogether, they paint a picture of where the industry is going in regards to climate documentaries; how nonprofits are changing views through both narrative and documentary filmmaking; the secrets to success in a tough industry; and what they were looking for from the five finalists.
I've broken down the interviews into two episodes: the first is with the judges and the second with the finalists. Maybe you've read who won, but if you haven't, I urge you to go on a ride with me this week and wait till the end of part 2 to see who takes home the $25,000.
In this episode, I talk with:
- Aaron Rutkoff, Executive Editor, Bloomberg Green
- Will N. Miller, Producer, The Territory & Co-founder, Documist
- Jill Tidman, Executive Director, The Redford Center
- Lindsay Firestone, Film & Special Content Projects Lead, Bloomberg Philanthropies
In part 2, I'll talk with the five finalist teams:
- CLIMATE DIARIES: HEATHER'S STORY by Berit Anderson and Ali Scattergood
- FINDING HOME by Maria Stanisheva
- GROVE OF GIANTS by Bree Sanders
- LIFE WITH BATS by David Luff
- SAVING GLACIERS by Ciril Jazbec
