EXPLORING BIOGRAPHICAL DOCUMENTARIES

Director Jon Kean with three of the amazing Holocaust survivors who served as subjects in two of his documentary films.

Jon Kean & Anne Stein, the director/editor team behind the documentaries Swimming in Auschwitz and After Auschwitz will be presenting their experiences working in the biographical documentary genre.  They will discuss the creative and technical strategies and descisions that were used to bring these historically significant films to life.

Jon, who started in the theatre world in LA and New York, has been a filmmaker since his directing debut Kill the Man opened at Sundance in 1999. He is currently in production on two new documentaries including a project about Rwanda 25 years post-genocide.

Anne started her editing career in the sound department of Milos Forman’s film, Hair. As an editor she has worked extensively with Freida Lee Mock as well as other Los Angeles based directors and has always gravitated to projects that reflect a social and emotional sensibility in line with her personal values.
