REACTIONS FROM ATTENDEES & DIRECTORS
“When you work in non-fiction film, it can sometimes feel like
a lonely pursuit, but coming to T/F feels like you have just
landed in a world of your own kind.”
— Oscar winning director MORGAN NEVILLE (20 Feet
From Stardom)
“True/False is nirvana. When I went to True/False, I
remembered what I sometimes forget: the unalloyed joy of
making and watching docs.”
—Oscar winning director ALEX GIBNEY (Taxi to the Dark
Side)
“My love for True/False runs deep - from the smart
programming, passionate audiences, inspired buskers, and
fabulous venues.”
— Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist/director LAURA
POITRAS, (The Oath)
“If there was one festival that I would recommend to anyone
involved or interested in documentary filmmaking, it would
be True/False.”
—Oscar winning director JAMES MARSH (Man On Wire)
“T/F is like a great documentary. And like any great film, it
gives a feeling of vitality and leaves you wanting more.”
— Oscar-winning director ROSS KAUFFMAN (Born Into
Brothels)
In the fall, TIME MAGAZINE selected T/F as one of the “50
Cultural Experiences to Try in 2014.”
