Rodrigo Dorfman, an independent filmmaker and UNC alumnus, will present his film “Generation Exile” at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival today in Durham. The filmmaker describes his style as ‘fictionary,’ mixing fictional story-telling with elements usually found in documentaries. We sat down with Dorfman to discuss his experience as a filmmaker.
DTH: What were some of your early experiences with films?
Dorfman: My father used to take me to see films that I shouldn’t have seen as a little kid; they were really adult films. They were art movies from Europe that really shaped me as a little person. The first time I felt the power of the moving image was when I was working in Chile, under the dictatorship, with an underground news gathering agency that was filming the uncensored reality and lives of the Chilean people under the dictatorship.
DTH: When did you get serious about filmmaking?
