When it comes to recreating the past, what is our responsibility as visual storytellers? Balancing period accuracy with artistic liberty is a delicate challenge, especially considering the many perspectives and revisions of history. Our panelists will share their thoughts on historical recreations in period films, TV shows and biopics, and discuss their considerations as they research, explore and reinvent the past.
Panelists:
Shailaja Sharma (Gold)
Uli Hanisch (Babylon Berlin)
Wynn Thomas (Malcolm X)
Moderator:
Thomas Walsh (Longmire)
