Artist Talk/ David Herman
Times: 6pm-9pm
Every May weekend, daytime Adelaide Studio invites you to ‘VISION’ – exhibition showcasing sculptures and performances by Paulina Anzorge & evening SERIES OF TALKS by creatives whose voices impact our world views.
Let us introduce: David Herman
DOCUMENTARY DIRECTOR & EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
A sophisticated documentary film maker with a gritty edge, David’s films are made for a global audience, whether unfolding narratives or retrospective stories, all his work displays a dedication to storytelling and rigorous journalism. He has delivered to Netflix, NatGeo, Discovery, A&E, Animal Planet, BBC, Sky & Channel 4
David is interested in crime, history, terrorism, and politics. He is particularly accomplished in persuading people to talk on camera, whether Surgeon whistle blowers (Netflix; Untitled), people accused of horrific crimes (A&E, The Accused), a Cartel Hitman (NatGeo, Drugs Inc) or Chicago’s principal heroin importer (Sky, Ross Kemp’s Extreme World)
David will show short clips from some of his documentaries and discuss: The process of documentary film making; Actuality, Authenticity and Authorship.
Actuality encompasses capturing real-life events without manipulation. Authenticity delves into presenting truth and representing subjects faithfully, free from biases or agendas. Authorship discusses the filmmaker’s role in shaping narratives while respecting the integrity of the subject matter.
Through viewing clips of films, we will see how film makers navigate ethical dilemmas, maintain integrity in storytelling, and establish their voice as filmmakers.
