Documentary filmmakers Maxim Fadeev and Sergei Belous at the RUSSIA EXPO talked about how films are made in war conditions, discussed the difference between war documentary and journalism, and shared their memories of the very beginning of the conflict in Donbass in 2014.

"We need to learn to separate the profession of a war correspondent and a documentary filmmaker. We shoot specifically to chronicle and historically chronicle pivotal moments. War correspondents, on the other hand, do it for a general audience. Of course, many of us do not know who took Izyum and Volchansk because access was limited. But thanks to our joint work we can complement each other and bring the truth to the public," emphasized Sergei Belous.

In turn, Maxim Fadeev answered questions from the audience, they concerned the process of shooting documentaries in the conditions of military operations. According to him, one of the main criteria to be followed is the transparency of the covered events.

The event was held as part of the II International Documentary Film Festival. All films by RT documentary filmmakers are available on the 24-hour RT.Doc channel, most of the airtime of which is devoted to films about heroes.
