The evening opened with an introduction by DGA Past President/National Board Member Taylor Hackford followed by a screening of clips from the nominated documentaries. Then the nominees joined DGA Awards Documentary Committee Co-Chairs Freida Mock and James Moll for a discussion about the making of their films.
The symposium was followed by a reception where DGA members and guests could mingle with the nominees.
Nominee John Maloof (Finding Vivian Maier) was unable to attend the symposium.
