The International Documentary Association is presenting an evening with Academy Award-winning filmmaker, Ross Kauffman, as part of their '09 Doc U seminar series in Los Angeles, home of IDA's headquarters.
Marjan Safinia, member of the Board of Directors of the IDA and co-host of The D-Word Community (which you should join if you're at all involved in nonfiction cinema), will moderate a special evening with Kauffman as he talks about the journey making Born Into Brothels, his very first film, co-directed with Zana Briski, which went on to garner an Oscar for Best Feature Documentary in 2005. Kauffman's latest jewel, In a Dream, which he exec produced, was shortlisted for the '09 Oscars, and he is the cinematographer of Senain Kheshgi and Geeta V. Patel's Project Kashmir. No slouch, our Ross.
