Noe Mendelle & journalist Ian Haydn Smith asking questions.
Alan Berliner is an American filmmaker. Many of his films have been aired on PBS Public Broadcasting Service program P.O.V. and at film festivals worldwide. Selected retrospectives of his films have been presented at both the Museum of Modern Art and International Center of Photography in New York City.
The New York Times described Berliner's work as "powerful, compelling and bittersweet... full of juicy conflict and contradiction, innovative in their cinematic technique, unpredictable in their structures... Alan Berliner illustrates the power of fine art to transform life.
In 2012, Berliner completed a film about the late Edwin Honig, a poet and professor, who was a cousin of Berliner's. The film, First Cousin Once Removed, premiered at the New York Film Festival in October.
