How do you make a documentary about artists like Marina Abramović, Carol Condé, Karl Beveridge or Hanns Eisler? Some answers are provided in this video, which details the free filmmakers’ panel co-presented by the Canadian Art Foundation Reel Artists Film Festival and Point of View magazine that took place on February 24, 2012.
