b'\\u201cEvery film is a documentary of its own making,\\u201d Jacques Rivette famously said, pointing to the mix of fabrication and truth that lies at the heart of every movie. As images increasingly permeate our lives, these questions are ever more complex. What constitutes truth when the camera intervenes? How do we decide to accept\\u2014or question\\u2014what we see? \\n\\nFilm Comment editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute were joined on stage at the 61st New York Film Festival by World Records editor Jason Fox and NYFF61 filmmakers Kleber Mendon\\xe7a Filho (Pictures of Ghosts), Rosine Mbakam (Mambar Pierrette), and Frederick Wiseman (Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros) for a discussion about the ways in which filmmakers engage both documentary and narrative techniques to invite and challenge viewers\\u2019 trust in images. \\n\\nThis panel expanded on the ideas in Trust Issues, a new audio series by World Records.\\n\\nWatch a video of this event here:\\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cH06adWHQs'
