And it's no wonder: director Maxence Voiseux and producer Élise Hug worked ten years to make this happen. How such brilliance wound up on a screen at Cannes is what I wanted to know from the filmmakers, and they were happy to share. What Maxence and Élise want you to know about the film; why it was made indistinguishably from a narrative film (really!) and what that means for the state of docs; the long ten year journey of getting GABIN made; what makes an \"auter-driven\" documentary and why GABIN is such a marvelous work from a director with a vision; how each got into documentary film; \"distance is the core of documentary\" -- how he made that statement happen for GABIN and advice for documentarians for their own films; producing a film for 10 years -- is that easier or harder than a shorter timeframe? -- and the challenges particularly in France; the role of the Cannes Film Festival in elevating documentaries and how to expand that ability to other directors; their strategy coming into the Cannes Film Festival; how people should follow when GABIN will be available. weighing how much directors have to participate on social media.
