Last week SILVERDOCS announced an impressive slate of documentary films for their 2010 festival. Camden IFF’s Ben Fowlie has been asked to be on the shorts jury along with Aron Gaudet from THE WAY WE GET BY and Elena Fortes from the amazing doc fest and traveling showcase, AMBULANTE. We are very honored to be able to take part in the festival in such a meaningful way… and we definitely look forward to checking out some of the feature offerings.

Aside from film screenings, SILVERDOCS also hosts THE GOOD PITCH in collaboration with the Sundance Institute and Channel 4. 8 films in production will have a chance “pitch” their projects and associated campaigns in front of a who’s who from the doc community as well as invited NGOs, charities, foundations, campaigners, advertising agencies and media.

Oh, one final note…SILVERDOCS will also be honoring Fred Wiseman this year! They’ll be showing a number of his works, although unfortunately not his 1998 248 minute film called BELFAST, MAINE a portrait of our neighbors to the North. Anyone living in Maine and especially the Midcoast should check this out, you’re bound to recognize someone.

Congrats to Sky Sitney and crew on another wonderful program! And if you are heading to DC in about three weeks for the festival, drop us a line and say hello!
