FILM SCREENING AND TALK: Documentaries, Docudrama and World Governance
Victoria Riskin and David Rintels
Monday, February 9 / 7-9PM / FREE
McCune Conference Room, 6020 HSSB, UCSB

Victoria Riskin, co-chair of the Human Rights Watch Southern California committee and co-founder of the Tibetan Aid Project; and her husband, writer-producer David Rintels have both created docudramas and films about epochal historical events. Rintels' work includes Nuremburg (2000), Day One (1989) and Washington: Behind Closed Doors (1977). He and Riskin collaborated in writing and producing World War Two: When Lions Roared (1994). Using film clips from their politically-oriented docudramas, Riskin and Rintels will discuss the difficulties of writing, producing and financing films dealing with weighty historical issues in today’s Hollywood.
