Night of the Living Docs is a marathon evening of documentary split into three programmes: Personal Stories (6.15pm) delves into the family histories or personal experiences of the filmmakers. Portraiture (7.35pm) gives us a snapshot of fascinating characters with amazing stories to tell, and Artistic Endeavors (9.15pm) mixes film about art and artistes with documentaries that take a more artistic approach to their subjects.
