Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project
Director of Photography
Marion Stokes secretly recorded television 24 hours a day for 30 years from 1975 until her death in 2012. For Marion taping was a form of activism to seek the truth, and she believed that a comprehensive archive of the media would be invaluable for future generations. Her visionary and maddening project nearly tore her family apart, but now her 70,000 VHS tapes are being digitized and they'll be searchable online.

Salidas y Entradas | Exits and Entrances
Director of Photography
For the three-channel video Salidas y Entradas Exits and Entrances, artists Jessica Hankey and Erin Johnson worked with applied theatre facilitator Gina Sandi Diaz to offer performance workshops at public daytime senior centers managed by the city of El Paso’s Parks and Recreation Department. With the senior center as a stage, the elders who participated in the workshops enacted social, political and geographical imaginaries for the camera. Through improvisation and performance exercises drawn from the work of Viola Spolin and Augusto Boal, themes emerge: the dynamics of the U.S.- Mexico border, the desire to be seen, the role of musical storytelling as a soundtrack to daily life, power dynamics, and gender as performance. As the boundaries between rehearsal, improvisation, and performance blur, the ways in which individual lives and sociopolitical realities merge together are foregrounded.
Ицхак
Director of Photography
Документальный портрет скрипача и дирижёра Ицхака Перлмана, 16-кратного обладателя премии "Грэмми" за исполнение классической музыки. Несмотря на то, что в детстве главный герой переболел полиомиелитом и теперь вынужден играть на скрипке сидя, он входит в так называемую "израильскую мафию" лучших музыкантов мира. Знаменитый скрипач много рассказывает о своём детстве в Тель-авиве, постоянно шутит, соблюдает субботу и исполняет еврейскую народную музыку. Перлман известен инструментальными обработками народных песен на идиш в сопровождении Израильского филармонического оркестра. В фильме много хорошей музыки, еврейской истории и еврейского юмора!
