'THE POWER OF THE DOCUMENTARY' FESTIVAL OPENS IN SYDNEY 28 NOV WITH 'BREAKING THE SILENCE' ITS THEME

On 28 November, John Pilger's film festival, 'The Power of the Documentary' opens in Sydney. A collaboration between the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) and the Riverside Theatres, Parramatta, the festival presents 26 landmark documentaries selected by John Pilger, including a retrospective of his own work.'At a time of information onslaught, much of it repetitive,' says Pilger, 'the documentary remains a powerful way of making sense of the world, of connecting the past with the present and breaking the silence that is so often truth.'The programme runs to 9 December and includes the long banned 'War Game' by Peter Watkins, Edward Murrow's 'Harvest of Shame' and Peter Davis's 'Hearts and Minds'.Tickets are available here: thepowerofthedocumentary.com.au
