Local filmmakers say they are falling through the cracks of Rochester’s arts scene.
Pointing to the city’s history – one shaped by Kodak – they say Rochester no longer thinks of or supports filmmakers in the ways that it does with other artistic media. Unlike music, dance, visual and literary arts, and theater, film, they say, is an afterthought.
This hour, we explore the state of the local filmmaking scene, discuss what could improve opportunities for local filmmakers, and we preview an upcoming documentary film festival.
Our guests:
- Linda Moroney, filmmaker, educator, and programmer of the One Take Documentary Film Series
- Tayton T. Troidl, filmmaker whose film, “A Life in Boxes,” will be screened at the One Take Documentary Film Series
- Logan Girdlestone, filmmaker whose film, “The Mafia,” will be screened at the One Take Documentary Film Series
- Cat Ashworth, filmmaker whose film, “Learning to Dance,” will be screened at the One Take Documentary Film Series
