Beyond the hype, the Pennebaker and Hegedus team talked about their personal stories, the nature of their marriage, and the background to just a few of their key films. Heaven for documentary tragics, and good fun for a whole audience.
What if you co-director, your crew and your editor was also your spouse? Fresh off the plane from the 85th Academy Awards in Hollywood, DocWeek audiences were treated to “An Evening of Conversation” with American Filmmakers D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus. Highlights of the conversation included anecdotes from filming Depeche Mode 101, Don’t Look Back, and Kings of Pastry (all screened during Docweek), to reflections on the nature of collaboration, reality television and funding.
