JULIE JANATA PRESENTATION
Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 2pm
Marshall Building, Room 212

Janata sculpts acclaimed dramas, comedies and music films from hundreds of hours of footage. She imbibes them with all the richness of story and character development she learned while working on Oscar and Emmy winning projects including Bad Boys, Heat, French Kill, The Ghost and The Darkness, The Jackal, and Disclosure. She started her career as a camera operator and Cinematography Fellow at the American Film Institute, which informs her work to this day.

Janata will present recent documentary work and discuss her career as an editor. She is a member of The Producers Guild and The Editors Guild, and Co-Chair of the Alliance of Women Directors. The Alliance of Women Directors is a coalition of women directors which both provides a community of peers for mutual support, and furthers the art, craft and visibility of women directors in the film and television industry.

This special presentation has been made possible by the Hanson Film Institute and The School of Media Arts.
