In this episode, Vangeline has a conversation with her collaborator Emmy-Award winner Machine Dazzle, discussing their new project "Venus Ex Machina", costumes for MAN WOMAN, life as an artist, and the importance of saying yes. For more information about this new project visit www.vangeline.com and Instagram Instagram: @machinedazzle @vangelinebutoh https://www.vangeline.com/news/2024/8/15/venus-ex-machina-machine-dazzle-and-vangeline Machine Dazzle. Emmy award winner and beloved downtown bon vivant and all-around creative provocateur Machine Dazzle has been dazzling stages via costumes, sets, and performances since his arrival in New York in 1994. An artist, costume designer, set designer, singer/songwriter, art director, and maker, Machine describes himself as a radical queer emotionally driven, instinct-based concept artist and thinker trapped in the role of costume designer, sometimes. Machine designs intricate, unconventional wearable art pieces and bespoke installations. As a stage designer, Machine has collaborated with artists from the New York downtown scene and beyond – including Julie Atlas Muz, Big Art Group, Mx. Justin Vivian Bond, Taylor Mac, Basil Twist, Godfrey Reggio, Jennifer Miller, The Dazzle dancers, Big Art Group, Mike Albo, Stanley Love, Soomi Kim, Pig Iron Theatre Company, Opera Philadelphia, the Bearded Ladies Cabaret, the Curran Theatre, and Spiegelworld; and has created bespoke looks for fashion icons including designer Diane von Furstenberg and model Cara Delevingne for the 2019 Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala. Machine's costumes and sets were featured in Taylor Mac's Pulitzer Prize-nominated A 24-Decade History of Popular Music. A documentary feature film directed by Jeffrey Friedman and Rob Epstein and co-produced by Pomegranate Arts will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2023. In 2019, Machine was commissioned by Guggenheim Works and Process and The Rockefeller Brothers to create Treasure, a rock-and-roll cabaret of original songs including a fashion show inspired by the content. Recent collaborations include the Catalyst Quartet on Bassline Fabulous – a reimagining of Bach's Goldberg Variations at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and his debut collaboration with Opera Lafayette, for the historic premiere of the never-before-seen Rameau comedic opéra-ballet, Io. Dazzle was a co-recipient the 2017 Bessie Award for Outstanding Visual Design, the winner of a 2017 Henry Hewes Design Award, and a 2022 United States Artists Fellow. He delivered a TED Talk at TED Vancouver in 2023. Machine Dazzle's work has been exhibited internationally. His first solo exhibition, Queer Maximalism x Machine Dazzle, was held at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City in 2022. https://www.vangeline.com/ https://www.pomegranatearts.com/projects-and-artists/machine-dazzle https://www.hbo.com/movies/taylor-macs-24-decade-history-of-popular-music

This week, we're taking a trip to 1950s Italy as we discuss Patricia Highsmith's classic thriller The Talented Mr. Ripley and its acclaimed 1999 adaptation directed by Anthony Minghella. Topics of discussion include the novel's iconic con artist protagonist, the twisty plot, homoerotic subtext, and how Minghella put his own spin on the themes and characters.

Rob Epstein's The Times of Harvey Milk (1984) is a poignant look at the assassination of the San Francisco Supervisor, his assassin, and his organizing paradigm. Not just fighting for gay rights, but helping to build a coalition for liberation, Milk's life as shown in the movie is an important lesson on movement building. Even if it were just that, I would recommend it to everyone. But beyond the 90 minute film, the Criterion release provides 3 hours of additional materials diving deeper into Milk's impact and legacy, making this release absolutely indispensable.
Taylor Mac's 24-Decade History of Popular Music Directors Rob Epstein, Jeffrey Friedman and performer Taylor Mac discuss their new film, Taylor Mac's 24-Decade History of Popular Music, with fellow Director Ondi Timoner in a Q&A at the DGA theater in Los Angeles. In the conversation, the filmmakers discuss including behind-the-scenes costuming and makeup to drive the narrative, the editing process of turning a 24-hour live show into a shortened recorded special, and telling a multilayered story within the confines of a live taped performance. The film captures the drag star's exuberant, blatantly gay 24-hour musical performance, featuring skilled performers, creative costumes, and the American myth recounted through sailor's ditties, disco, and sugary pop numbers.

We kick off Pride Month 2022 with this Oscar-winning biopic directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting) which delves in the life of slain civil rights activist Harvey Milk who took the city of San Francisco AND the country by storm by becoming the first openly gay politician elected to major office in 1978. His story is both inspiring and touching, with much of the structure of this film and several highlights coming from the 1984 documentary of his life called “The Times of Harvey Milk” which also won the Best Documentary Oscar that year. Sean Penn stars in the 2008 film as the eponymous activist/politician from Woodmere, NY – he also won the Best Actor Oscar that year and is supported by an impressive cast including James Franco, Josh Brolin, Diego Luna, Victor Garber, and Allison Pill. The documentary was directed by Rob Epstein and was narrated by Harvey Fierstein – both films are very informative along with being quite entertaining, let's delve into both!Host: Geoff Gershon Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
Harvey Milk was a pioneering activist in San Francisco during the 1970's and was one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United State when he joined the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. Milk's activism for gay rights, his flashbulb political career, and his assassination in 1978 are a lasting legacy for the gay community. In our episode this week, Jake and Kevin talk about two movies that tell the story of Harvey Milk- The Times of Harvey Milk (1984) and Milk (2008). The Times of Harvey Milk is a documentary film directed by Rob Epstein and narrated by Harvey Fierstein that expertly edits together archival footage of Milk's career in activism and San Francisco politics as well as talking head interviews with other activists and figures in Milk's orbit. In Milk, directed by Gus Van Sant and written by Dustin Lance Black, Sean Penn played a fictionalized Harvey Milk from his rise in San Francisco politics to his assassination at the hand of Dan White. What did this film add to an already masterful documentary? Why can't Sean Penn just keep his mouth shut? Was that really Harvey Fierstein in the studio?! Join us for these answers and more! We end our cinematic sissies mini-series with the fabulous movie-rescuer, Malcolm, portrayed by Michael Greer in the atrocious 1969 comedy, The Gay Deceivers. Kevin power-ranks the sissies we have discussed since episode 1 and then quizzes Jake on his sissy knowledge!
In Episode 3 of Season 9: The Beat Generation, the guys discuss the most famous of all the Beat poems: "Howl" The book was written by Allen Ginsberg, published in 1956, and was adapted for the screen in 2010. The film was written and directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, and stars James Franco, David Strathairn, Jon Hamm, Mary-Louise Parker and Jeff Daniels. Passions run high in this episode where we learn what an anaphora is, Erik gets heated, and we discuss whether or not the prosecutor (David Stratharin) is the dumbest character in all of film history. Listen to the episode for yourself and let us know which you enjoyed more, the novel or the movie. We want to find more fine listeners like yourself, but we can't do it without your help.

Le Joker, le tueur de « Psychose » ou Jafar dans « Aladdin »… Au cinéma, les ennemi·e·s des héro·ïne·s sont souvent efféminé·e·s et séducteur·rice·s. La pop culture regorge de méchant·e·s incarnant des clichés LGBT. Cette figure, appelée ‘queer-coded villain’, remonte au Hollywood des années 30, mais elle est loin d’avoir disparu de nos écrans. Pourquoi l’industrie cinématographique s’est-elle mise à créer des méchants féminins et maniérés ? En quoi ces personnages malveillants à l’homosexualité sous-entendue sont-ils hautement problématiques ?

As part of their nationwide virtual retrospective, directors Rob Epstein & Jeffrey Friedman joined FLC programmer Dan Sullivan for a career-spanning conversation. Watch their essential work, featuring new restorations, through November 5 in our Virtual Cinema at filmlinc.org/tellingpics For more than 30 years, Oscar-winning directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman have borne powerful witness to gay life, creativity, and activism — documenting lost aspects of LGBTQ+ history and chronicling unfolding events with humor, compassion, and fierce urgency. In their films, extraordinary interviews make the political personal and unforgettable. With Paragraph 175 and The Celluloid Closet, Epstein and Friedman examined the persecution of gay men in Nazi Germany and Hollywood’s history of hidden homophobia. Their documentaries The AIDS Show, Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt, The Times of Harvey Milk, and Where Are We? have both chronicled and helped change history. Starting October 23, we look at their essential partnership and the endlessly empathetic, consciousness-building films it has yielded. Film at Lincoln Center Talks are presented by HBO.

Her vision and her capacity to imagine and hear a sound in her head that others couldn’t propelled her where no woman had gone before; becoming a multi platinum recording artist in English, and becoming an icon in the Spanish language music world with the highest selling Spanish language album of all time. The esteemed position that she holds as one of the most influential and prolific vocalists, recording artists, and popular cultural ambassadors of the last century came through hard work, perseverance, determination, and a great sense of pride and vision as to what a Mexican American woman could create. She has inspired many female artists after her across the genres of Rock, Country, Mariachi, New Wave, Jazz, Light Opera, and Musical Theatre among others to cross boundaries of what is possible to achieve in a career. Linda followed her heart, and her bliss, and nothing was off limits. Today Linda is experiencing physical limitations due to the progressive effects of living with Parkinson’s disease. As you will experience in this interview, Linda’s inability to sing today has not affected her ability to awe her admirers with her sense of gratitude, humor and tenacity to keep acting to effect change and awareness by any means necessary. As she continues to speak out and be an advocate for those who today have been silenced or limited as refugees, asylum seekers, migrants or due to their language or age barriers she asks us to open our hearts. Please share this episode with your loved ones, especially our future generations and introduce them to an account of this inspiring path. Be aware, as Linda reminds us now that we have so much more music to make as a nation and as a world. How amazing it would be if we, like Linda, looked at life as an opportunity to co-create new sounds from those of our families and ancestors and our new neighbors without borders. "It's really important that people be a student of history, ...know whose shoulders you are standing on, each generation, it only takes a generation to forget, what Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez did for the Farm Workers cannot be forgotten and already there are kids that are 15 years old that don’t know this history.” - Linda Ronstadt in a 2013 interview with CreatTV San Jose, where she and Dolores Huerta spoke on activist women, for the upcoming Tucson Mariachi and Mexican Cultural Festival, which Ronstadt helped produce. The theme of that festival was the “Soldaderas”, the female soldiers of the Mexican Revolution The 2013 Tucson. Mariachi and Mexican Cultural Festival celebrated the 100 year anniversary of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) by celebrating the contributions of the “Soldaderas”. The women who fought alongside the men, were responsible for cooking, preparing the camps, but also fighting on the frontlines alongside the men if their husbands were killed or injured. In 2013 Linda Ronstadt published, “Simple Dreams: A Musical Memoir”, where she chronologized her unique and uncharted path through the annals of recording and performing history with a career that spanned over four decades and earned her 10 top-10 singles and over 30 studio albums. “Simple Dreams”, which she wrote completely on her own, and was very difficult work, for a woman who respects the written word immensely and had set the bar high for her own debut as an author, became a New York Times Bestseller. Her selfcrafted narrative of a woman’s journey through a male dominated music industry, and her own self charted path inspired producers James Keach and Michele Farinola and directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman to pursue her tirelessly to make a documentary, released in late 2019 titled,...

Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice is a love song to one of the most memorably stunning voices that has ever hit the airwaves, Linda Ronstadt. She burst onto the 1960s folk rock music scene in her early twenties as the lead singer of the Stone Poneys, Ronstadt eventually branched out to begin her decades long career as a solo artist, touring the world selling out stadiums and, at one point, setting the record as the highest paid female artist in rock. Most remarkable to this day is her interest in and willingness to jump into new and challenging styles of music, including opera, jazz, and Mexican folk, excelling fantastically with each. Ronstadt has also been an outspoken political advocate for causes such as same-sex marriage and the inhumane treatment of undocumented immigrants, never shying away from fighting for what she believes both on and off the stage. Oscar-winning directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman (The Times of Harvey Milk, The Celluloid Closet, Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt, Howl, Lovelace and End Game) use deep-cut archival footage, and Ronstadt's own astute recollections, to celebrate an artist whose desire to do justice to the songs that touched her soul made generations of fans fall in love with her - and with the sound of her voice. Co-directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman join us to talk about a remarkable singer /artist and an even better person.

Efféminés, bien habillés, qui prennent soin d’eux, qui aiment le sport… les homosexuels au cinéma et dans les séries ont des personnalités clichés, dont la plus célèbre est celle de « la folle ». A la fois source d’identification pour les jeunes gays et parfois frein dans l’acceptation de soi, ces images d’une communauté gay sont aussi un canal de communication militant des concernés pour parler aux hétéros, « aux autres », pour montrer à quoi ressemblent vraiment les gays. Comment la représentation des homos a-t-elle évolué dans la pop culture ? Que dit-elle de la masculinité acceptable pour notre société ?

Why should medical professionals put a lot more effort to improve end-of-life care? On today's episode, internist Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider discusses her life's mission and why bedside manner is of utmost importance. “Patients and families deserve better. We have to do a better job at communicating.” - Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider Three Things We Learned Patients must be included in the bigger picture Dr. Shoshana realized a lot of things when she did her ICU residency. None of their palliative measures, complex studying of cases, and wading through data would change the inevitable course of a patient's journey. But there has always been the need to look at cases in the context of the patient's entire life and if they had a sense of what was happening around them. Many doctors aren't trained to hold conversations A recent study in the Journal of American Medical Association reported that most doctors don't have training to converse effectively. This completely blew Dr. Shoshana's mind. As a hospital-based doctor holding a lot of difficult conversations on goals and progress with patients and their families, this was telling of a public health problem. Lackluster bedside manners are a public health concern Indeed, there are more pressing and challenging public health issues in the country. But no patient or family must feel like they have to interrogate medical professionals to get a better understanding of where they stand. Practitioners owe it to people they have sworn to care for, even if only palliative, to tell them everything that they need to know. Empowerment of patients and families is an ongoing struggle for the medical community. The concern will remain stagnant unless properly addressed. In the end, the patients suffer, and it is disappointing that even in their last stretch, they don't get the kind of care they deserve. Bio: Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider is a physician, founder, philanthropist and speaker. She works as an internist practicing hospital medicine at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. Shoshana started the Ungerleider Palliative Care Education Fund. This supports innovative programs that further palliative care education at every level. She funded Extremis, a short documentary about end of life decision making in the intensive care unit by Academy Award nominated director, Dan Krauss. The film won Best Documentary Short at Tribeca Film Festival in April 2016 and was nominated for a 2017 Academy Award and for 2 Emmy Awards. She also executive produced End Game. It is a short documentary on hospice and palliative care by Academy Award winning directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. The documentary premiered at Sundance Film Festival this year and was acquired by Netflix. Shoshana founded End Well, a first of its kind media platform and annual symposium on human-centered design and innovation to improve the end of life experience.

This week on StoryWeb: Allen Ginsberg’s poem “Howl.” On October 7, 1955, Allen Ginsberg made the literary world sit up and listen to his “Howl.” It premiered at the Six Gallery in San Francisco, with Ginsberg doing a reading of the long poem. After Ginsberg’s “howl” (his answer to Walt Whitman’s “barbaric yawp”), the literary world would never be the same again. Michael McClure, another poet who read that evening, said, “Ginsberg read on to the end of the poem, which left us standing in wonder, or cheering and wondering, but knowing at the deepest level that a barrier had been broken, that a human voice and body had been hurled against the harsh wall of America.” A few months later, in 1956, “Howl” was published along with other Ginsberg poems by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who ran City Lights Bookstore. Truly, Allen Ginsberg was one of the great twentieth-century American poets, the literary heir to the nineteenth-century American bard Walt Whitman. Whitman and Ginsberg shared so much in common. The first edition of Whitman’s Leaves of Grass came out in 1855, precisely one hundred years before Ginsberg first read “Howl” in public. Leave of Grass also had a rather notorious publication, and it, too, captured the attention of the literary establishment – in the person of Ralph Waldo Emerson, America’s most influential thinker and writer of the day. Like Whitman, Ginsberg favored the extremely long poetic line. Like Whitman, he could not be contained. Like Ginsberg, Whitman celebrated all Americans – from the prostitute to the President, including those from the nearly invisible underbelly of the United States. Whitman gloried in – sang the song of – laborers, immigrants, slaves, Native Americans, women, men, everyone. Like Ginsberg, Whitman was a gay man in a dangerous time to be gay, though Ginsberg’s Beat contemporaries were likely much more accepting of Ginsberg’s sexuality than Whitman’s peers were. But as Ginsberg knew, the world of the Beat Generation was relatively small, and he faced a larger America deeply hostile to and extremely fearful of homosexuality. But where Whitman celebrates Americans of every stripe, of every region, every race, both sexes, Ginsberg is howling, rending his clothes in anguish and despair. “I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,” Ginsberg writes in the poem’s shocking opening. Where Whitman was strongly encouraged by Emerson to tone down the frank sexuality of Leaves of Grass and where Whitman was shunned by polite society for the graphic nature of his poetry, Ginsberg was actually taken to court on obscenity charges for “Howl.” It was fifty-nine years ago today that a judge finally ruled that the poem was not obscene. Of course, Whitman was not Ginsberg’s only influence. As you read “Howl,” you can pick up strains of Hebrew cadences, rhythms of Herman Melville’s epic voice, echoes of William Carlos Williams, inspirations from Jack Kerouac, and so much more. But Ginsberg was explicit more than once that he saw Whitman as one of his primary influences. Ginsberg’s 1955 poem “A Supermarket in California” pays homage to Whitman, as Ginsberg imagines walking the grocery store aisles with Whitman, whom he addresses as “dear father, graybeard, lonely old courage-teacher.” Particularly moving is the Voices and Visions episode on Walt Whitman, which features Allen Ginsberg discussing his poetic and personal debt to Whitman. If you don’t want to watch the video, you can read a transcript of Ginsberg’s comments at the Allen Ginsberg Project website. You can read “Howl” online at Poets.org or buy a copy of Howl and Other Poems. You can also buy the original draft facsimile of the poem. “This annotated version of Ginsberg's classic,” says the book’s cover, “is the poet's own re-creation of the revolutionary work's composition process—as well as a treasure trove of anecdotes, an intimate look at the poet's writing techniques, and a veritable social history of the 1950s” To learn a great deal more about the famous poem and the obscenity trial, watch the film Howl, written and directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman and starring James Franco as Ginsberg. You might also want to read the outstanding New Yorker article “Bob Dylan, the Beat Generation, and Allen Ginsberg’s America.” I’m proud to live in Boulder, Colorado, where Allen Ginsberg and Anne Waldman, another Beat poet, founded the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University, the nation’s only accredited Buddhist-inspired university. The Jack Kerouac School adds to the literary liveliness of Boulder. Visit thestoryweb.com/Ginsberg for links to all these resources and to hear Allen Ginsberg read “Howl.”

Howard Rosenman has established himself as one of the most prolific producers in film and television, best known for the hilarious remake of FATHER OF THE BRIDE starring Steve Martin and Diane Keaton, the cult phenomenon BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and THE FAMILY MAN starring Nicolas Cage.

Another Rosenman-made documentary, BRAVE MISS WORLD about his great friend Linor Abarg'il who was crowned Miss World, was directed by Cecilia Peck, sold to Netflix and nominated for an Emmy. Rosenman made his acting debut in Gus Van Sant's MILK playing David Goodstein (founder of “The Advocate”) opposite the Oscar-winning Sean Penn as “Harvey Milk.” He has since acted in six more movies and is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA.

He is also preparing a movie called SHEPHERD: A Tale of a Dog in World War II, based on the best-selling Israeli novel with Lynn Roth writing and directing. He just sold a Mini-Series to David Ellison's Skydance TV, six hours of television based on Michael Oren's book THE SIX DAY WAR with Rob Eshman writing. Rosenman is also putting together a film based on the life of ANITA BRYANT written by Chad Hodge, to be directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, starring Uma Thurman and Zach Quinto. Darren Star and Jeffrey Schwarz are his partners. He just returned from Israel where he set up his cousin, Ora Ahimeir's best-selling book, BRIDE (a Sapir nominated book, about their great-grandparents, set in Mandatory Safed and Hungary in the Nineteen Forties) at Herzeliya Studios. It will be his first movie in Hebrew and will be filmed in Israel. In addition Rosenman is preparing a Broadway Musical based on a dream he had in 1985 after having seen PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and LES MISERABLES in one day in London, ANNE RICE'S “VOCE.” It is being written by Craig Lucas with music by Lance Horne and Lisbeth Scott. His producing partners are Belinda Casas-Wells, Chuck Martinez and Allan Levey. In January 2009, Rosenman became a Contributing Editor of the Los Angeles Times Magazine. His articles about his longtime friendships with Leonard Bernstein, Elizabeth Taylor and Diane von Furstenberg can be found on http://www.latimes.com/features/. As an educator, Rosenman has lectured at USC's Stark Producing Program, UCLA, Yale, Columbia, NYU, Brandeis and AFI. Rosenman tours the world with his seminar “HOWARD ROSENMAN'S THE HOLLYWOOD SELL,” an inside look at producing for the screen in which he shares his insights and adventures with writers, actors, directors, producers, and anyone who loves film and TV. The seminar has been presented in Memphis, Omaha, Philadelphia, Boston, New York and Los Angeles with upcoming engagements in Seattle, Austin, San Francisco, South Africa and Israel. He is currently at work on his first book also entitled THE HOLLYWOOD SELL, which will be both a memoir and a how-to-produce guide for aspiring filmmakers. Rosenman is Co-Founder of Project Angel Food in LA, which provides meals-on-wheels for patients with terminal illnesses and is now one of the largest charities in Southern California. In 2009 Beth Chayim Chadashim awarded him with the Herman Humanitarian Award. He was honored by film organization Power Up as “one of 2010's ten amazing men in show business.” In 2013 he received the Inspiration Award from ORT America. He currently serves on the advisory board overseeing the construction of the new film school at his alma mater Brooklyn College, and just offered a faculty job there as a Distinguished Professor. Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised on Long Island, Rosenman is the son of seventh generation Israelis from Jerusalem. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Brooklyn College with a degree in European Literature. In 1967, he took a leave from medical school to serve as an extern medic in the Six Day War as a part of the Israeli Defense Forces where he met his mentor Leonard Bernstein who encouraged him to go into show business.

As primeiras evidências históricas, enquanto gênero cinematográfico, surgiram com o norte americano Robert Flaherty, o qual acompanhou a vida dos esquimós do norte do Canadá de 1912 a 1919 e lançou o filme Nanouk, o esquimó, em 1922. Diante da realidade brasileira, em que há um elevado grau de analfabetismo e baixo poder aquisitivo da maioria da população, o acesso à cultura e ao conhecimento, de um modo geral, torna-se `privilégio' de poucos. A percepção dos acontecimentos da sociedade como um todo, provém, principalmente, dos meios de comunicação de massa. A apatia da maioria da população frente aos acontecimentos diários transmitidos via mídia televisiva, deve-se à falta de compreensão das realidades veiculadas. Sem clareza das idéias, apáticos com relação aos problemas e sem a compreensão dos fatos, os membros das comunidades não conseguem se organizar em busca de melhorias. Dessa forma, desencadeia-se um processo de estagnação social, no qual os fatos são absorvidos sem nenhum questionamento. O jornalista Michael Kucinski, ressalta no livro Conceitos de jornalismo, os problemas acarretados pelos noticiários. Segundo ele: ``Schulz critica as reportagens qualificando-as de superficiais e desprovidas da preocupação de assinalar as tendências fundamentais e os contextos mais amplos.'' O documentário deve promover a integração entre os membros da comunidade retratada e desenvolver a cooperação entre eles, de forma a enriquecer os conhecimentos individuais e coletivos. Possibilita ainda ao jornalista especializado no gênero, a oportunidade de dedicar-se aos fatos do cotidiano, os quais envolvem todos os tipos de pessoas, independente da raça, cor, religião, ou posição social que exercem e não considerar os ``furos'' de reportagem como prioridade de produção.
