For 17 years, the True/False Film Fest has celebrated the ever-expanding world of nonfiction filmmaking, and no one loves it more than reality maven Jon Murray.
For Murray, who now serves as creative consultant at BMP, the recent explosion of documentary filmmaking, and the exploding of the traditional rules of what that is, makes perfect sense — there are as many ways to tell a nonfiction story as a fictional one. Maybe even more.
“Sometimes,” he added, describing the festival, which he has attended for the last seven years, “you don’t know quite what you’re seeing. But that’s what makes it exciting.”This was the first year Murray was attached to a festival entrant. He is a co-executive producer ofwhich documents a group of activists attempting to save LGBT+ people in that country from the horrific antigay purges being conducted by Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov .
But that was actually not the most costly visit Murray has made to True/False. On his first trip, seven years ago, he realized that while Columbia is home to both the largest documentary film festival in the country and one of its best journalism schools , that school did not have a documentary program. This seemed to Murray like a pretty big disconnect, so he started talking with festival founders and several journalism professors about fixing it.
