Two Works in Progress: Metanoia and Frame by Frame

Two filmmakers and one legendary climber explain the process, progress and ultimate hopes for their labors. Jeff Lowe is one of the great climbers of all time, yet his story also has a human and tragic dimension, which director Jim Aikman (High and Hallowed) is working to capture in the eagerly awaited Metanoia. Director Alexandria Bombach (Common Ground) is co-directing a documentary called Frame by Frame about Afghan photographers. Both films expect to premiere later in 2014. Bombach will discuss her documentary Frame by Frame, which follows four Afghan photographers. This character-driven film aims to challenge perceptions about Afghanistan and bring to light the importance of free press. With two productions in a war-zone and knee deep into edit, Bombach will describe the lessons learned (so far) from her first feature-length documentary.
