How New Technology is Changing War Zone Filmmaking

Imagine landing in a post-disaster or humanitarian crisis zone with only a camera. David Darg (RYOT) Daniel McCabe (This Is Congo) and Kaj Larsen (Vice News) are filmmakers and correspondents who look for beauty in chaos and tell individual stories to give context to global disasters. They’ll discuss their work creating powerful films in places like Congo, Haiti, Afghanistan & Mexico and how to connect with people who have lived through horrific, life-altering experiences. Their work is part of a changing filmmaking landscape through technology. They give a unique voice to those affected by disaster and will discuss making art in extreme conditions to tell what would have been untold stories of disaster, human impact and survival.
