In this episode, we explore the remarkable career of the vital and trailblazing filmmaker, Gordon Quinn.
He is the Artistic Director and founding member of Kartemquin Films, and has been making documentaries for over 50 years. The late movie critique, Roger Ebert, called his first film Home for Life) "an extraordinarily moving documentary.”…utilizing the technique of cinéma verité to investigate and critique society by documenting the unfolding lives of real people.
Gordon Quinn has mentored many filmmakers over the years, some of whom we will hear from in this episode, establishing a legacy in this regard, as well as a home where they can make high-quality, social-issue documentaries.
