PROJECTING PROTEST by Tom Clement

Feature Documentary: The film is in the final rough cut stage and the filmmaker is seeking constructive feedback to finalize the film.

ABOUT THE FILM

Projecting Protest

Over the past decade, activists across the political spectrum have been deploying a new protest tactic: guerrilla light projection. Projection devices have become cheap, powerful, and can be smaller than a toaster. They are also, for the most part, wildly unregulated by American law. Projecting Protest is a 22-minute documentary that challenges assumptions about what is legal and previews what might need to be tolerated to preserve the right of dissent.

ABOUT WORKS IN PROGRESS SCREENINGS

Docs In Progress has workshopped more than 175 documentaries through our signature rough cut Work-in-Progress screenings, where filmmakers share a not-quite finished version of their documentary to a general audience.

During the event, a facilitator from Docs In Progress leads a workshop-style feedback session where the audience provides constructive feedback on story progression, story structure, character/topic development of these not-quite finished documentaries. This can be essential to help filmmakers move forward with their creative process toward finalizing the film.

While we welcome and treasure feedback from other filmmakers or topic experts at these screenings, we are equally interested in hearing from laypeople since most filmmakers are making films for a general audience.
