Film and Radio

I think it's pretty interesting that the most enjoyable session, both this year and last, had to do with film (Last year the Walter Murch appearance was a highlight). It may not have been the most immediately applicable to radio making, but I had a great time. On Saturday, we watched the first 26 minutes of The Two Towns of Jasper. Now I have to get my hands on a copy so I can see the rest.
The discussion brought up a lot of interesting issues about dealing with race in documentaries. They are particularly relevant given the racial homogeneity in public radio. Their manifesto approach seemed to serve them well.
It also made me think hard about how I need to plan out more of my work.
