Yes, We Are Watching You: Persons of Interest was a public panel presentation presented in MIFF for 2013 as part of the Talking Pictures Program. Academic Robert Manne, Institute of Public Affairs Research fellow Chris Berg, revolutionary Arthur Dent and the Persons of Interest themselves – Gary Foley, Michael Hyde, as well as Alan Hardy and director Haydn Keenan – discussed the consequences of state surveillance, and the dividing line between safeguarding public interest and public harassment.
This was the sixth and final event I covered for MIFF 2013. My final challenge was how to work with a panelist who didn't want to be photographed. Fortunately the subject sat on the end of the panel and it was relatively straightforward to exclude him from the frame. Later in post-production I found out that a further two panel members had opted out. It was a good thing that I had the D800's high resolution power to fall back on.
