Guggenheim Fellow Danae Elon draws from nearly three decades of documentary filmmaking to discuss navigating pushback when creating work about polarizing
subjects like identity, family, and contested spaces. She explores how filmmakers can maintain creative integrity while facing hostile reactions, the difference between
provocative storytelling and mere controversy, and practical strategies for conducting research on sensitive topics without losing your instincts. Learn how to assess whether a story is worth the conflict it will generate, handle the reality that your film may be weaponized by opposing sides, and move past the fear that paralyzes filmmakers sitting
on powerful but potentially consequential stories.
