The world of documentary film has been receiving increased attention in the film industry in the past decade for its unique presentation of real life events. This interest can be seen by the notoriety of such films such as Morgan Spurlock’s 2004 film “Super Size Me” or Al Gore’s famous documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth.” The Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, to be held April 3-6 in downtown Durham, is as an excellent opportunity to view an array of nation’s top up-and-coming documentary films. Recognized as the premier documentary film festival in the United States by both The New York Times and indieWIRE, Full Frame is an arena for documentary filmmakers to showcase their work theatrically in an environment that stimulates conversation and community between filmmakers, industry executives and the general public.
