Given the disturbing content of an average news program, its natural for the public to construct barriers in order to protect themselves from the reality they watch on their television sets. Presenting these documentaries in the context of an art exhibition has significantly more impact on the audience, who may otherwise be desensitized to such subject matter.
The documentary film festival will run over three days and take place each weekend during the duration the biennial. The first screening runs Oct. 29 to Oct. 31 and will be held in the museum's auditorium.
