INDUSTRY IN FOCUS: What Does Empathy Look Like On the Big Screen?

If, as Roger Ebert has said, movies are a giant machine that generates empathy, what does it look like on the big screen and how do you encourage it in emerging writers and filmmakers? What implications would this have for the filmmaking industry amid a sea change in production deals and distribution? How does it affect the critical writing about films? What influences will it have for society as a whole? And is it tilting at windmills or who has done it successfully?

  • Chaz Ebert (The Roger Ebert Center)
  • John Sloss (Cinetic Media)
  • Cameron Bailey (Artistic Director, The Toronto International Film Festival)
  • Anne Thompson (IndieWire)
  • Moderated by: Nate Kohn, Vice President, The Peabody Awards
