Town Hall: Confronting the Echo Chambers

How do we challenge limitations and reach audiences in the 2020s?

The fortification of echo chambers, confirming our own biases and increasingly only giving us what we already want, is not only impeding the free flow of information and narratives challenging our preconceived notions, but maybe also limiting the documentary community’s own ability to envision possibilities beyond like-minded audiences.

And what is success anyway? Festival awards? A primetime TV slot? Debate sparked in the media? Or a room full of engaged and inquisitive 7th-graders?

We have invited speakers who strive to think outside the box and will share their experiences on how to break down the echo chambers and appeal to audiences beyond the usual suspects.
