FLASH FLAHERTY, the much-anticipated follow-up volume to THE FLAHERTY: DECADES IN THE CAUSE OF INDEPENDENT CINEMA, offers a people’s history of the world-renowned Robert Flaherty Film Seminar, an annual event where participants confront and reimagine the creative process surrounding multiple document/documentary forms and modes of the moving image.

Together, the contributors to FLASH FLAHERTY exemplify how the Flaherty Seminar, one of the longest continuously running organizations in the world dedicated to independent cinema,  propels shared insights, challenging debates, and actual change in the world of independent media.
