ITVS kicks off Living Docs Project to support emerging styles of online documentaries

ITVS is launching the Living Docs Project today (March 12) in partnership with Mozilla, the Tribeca Film Institute, BAVC, and the Center for Social Media. The online project “brings together documentary filmmakers, developers, funders, and the audience to make the case for a new kind of storytelling on the web,” ITVS said in the announcement. “The web has given documentary filmmakers a powerful mechanism to distribute their films, but we have only scratched the surface of how it can change storytelling. The Living Docs Project sees the web as a canvas on which new types of documentaries can be told.”
