SILVERDOCS

Breadmakers has been selected for the SILVERDOCS International Documentary Film Festival in June 2008.

SILVERDOCS is an international film festival celebrating the creative vision of independent filmmakers and the power of documentary to expand our world-view and enhance our understanding of the world around us. Entering its sixth year, SILVERDOCS has become the most talked about documentary festival in the United States. Due to record crowds in 2007, the 2008 edition of SILVERDOCS will be two days longer.

Leading filmmakers such as Nick Broomfield, Werner Herzog, Jim Jarmusch, Alan King, Barbara Kopple, Al Maysles, Stanley Nelson, Jonathan Demme, Penelope Spheeris and Martin Scorsese have shared their work and their perspectives with Festival audiences.

SILVERDOCS provides business and creative connections among filmmakers, broadcasters, distributors and funders from both established and emerging media markets at the International Documentary Conference. The conference includes over 60 panels and workshops and is attended by over 650 filmmakers and guests from around the world. Former Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Al Gore delivered the keynote address in 2006.

SILVERDOCS takes place at the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Centre.
