NZIFF bMovies w/ Julian Boshier and Ximena Smith: July 12, 2017

Director Julian Boshier gives the lowdown on his sensational new Head Like A Hole documentary, Swagger of Thieves. A mere ten years in the making, spanning twenty years of footage (converted to twelve terabytes of media), and hours of edit room ciggies, Julian's doco has its world premiere at the Mighty Civic this August 3rd. Our very own News and Editorial Director, Ximena Smith, also joins the melee to guide us through the contradictions and questions inherent within the new Laura Poitras documentary on Julian Assange, Risk. In the world of freedom of information activism, is the message always more important than its troubling messenger? Or is context _always_ key?
