As promised, here s a front line dispatch from Sheffield DocFest 2012, featuring Colin Oakley of Slacker Cinema, Martin Parsons of Fohnhouse and PR imp Alex Rowland. Alas, a really great chinwag between Adam Batty of hopelies.com and myself ended up on the cutting room floor, as some mystical technical problem made us sound like robots talking underwater.

Enjoy!

With Sheffield Doc/Fest 2012 about to kick off, myself and Ed see if we can handle the truth, talking about our shared dislike of bio-pics (and how to pronounce it), artifice and the documentary film making aesthetic and then cap it all off with a run down of some of our favourite documentaries.
