This week we are excited to introduce you to the group of talented filmmakers who have been participating in our SUMMER DOCUMENTARY LAB here at UnionDocs for the past few weeks. These rising stars are working to produce their first or second feature documentary. We’re excited to kick off these intros with CLAIRE SANFORD, a documentary filmmaker and cinematographer joining us here in Brooklyn, living in the second floor of UnionDocs, while away from her home in Montreal. In her work she focuses on visually stunning, human-centred factual content exploring environmental and social justice themes. She holds a BFA from the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University. In the #summerdoclab she is workshopping a cinematic portrait of enormous dust clouds, hazardous air quality, the unrelenting advance of climate change and how humans are attempting to control, influence and adapt. Paralleling the journey of the dust as it blows from the Taklamakan Desert of Western China to the shores of California, HWANGSA drops us into the lives of those most impacted by the dust - people who can’t take for granted the air they breathe. Claire says, “When I look for a through-line in my work as a filmmaker, it always comes back to the natural world: the way that we interact with nature and the way that nature shapes our interaction with those around us.” Stay tuned for more updates on this project as it moves forward!
