WASHINGTON (AP) - Every June, just as Hollywood is rolling out its summer blockbusters, the American Film Institute offers filmgoers a smorgasbord of something more mind-blowing: reality.
AFI's SilverDocs festival, whose motto is "Life: Now Playing," has become one of the pre-eminent documentary festivals in North America since its launch in 2003.
"Others have been around longer, but in three years we've grown to last for a week with 89 films, and a conference of 400 distributors and filmmakers afterwards," said festival director Patricia Finneran.
