OzDox: Feature Filmmakers and their Documentaries

Should docos be made for the cinema or for television or other media? Does it depend on the content? What would you suggest works better on the big or small screen? Advances in technology: do they make doco- making more attractive to you now, or less so? Are Australian doco makers telling enough grassroots Aussie stories; are they thinking outside the square? How does the discipline of making docos inform directing other genres? Two industry stalwarts explore the use of fiction filmmaking techniques in telling a non- fiction story as a preferred way of working. What is wrong/right with today's doco scene in Australia? Is it about funding and budgets, commissioning editors and broadcasters less/more willing to push the envelope, a paucity or plethora of meaningful ideas, or the effects of several years of a government that prefers us to be "relaxed and comfortable"?
