Photographer Dave Anderson coming to Cleveland
After Hurricane Katrina, Arkansas-based photographer Dave Anderson spent three years repeatedly photographing a single neighborhood block in the Lower Ninth Ward. The resulting images were described by the New York Times as “stunning, rich portraits of people who have been through so much.”
As part of its FilmFeast series, the Cleveland International Film Festival will be hosting an evening with the multi-talented photographer on January 14, 2012. His work as both a photographer and filmmaker has been celebrated in the United States and abroad and the New Yorker has called his work “as clear eyed-and unsentimental as it is soulful and sympathetic.”
The CIFF event, which takes place at Merrymeeting Group headquarters in Independence, will include a showing of Anderson’s photographs, including some from his 2010 monograph “One Block: A New Orleans Neighborhood Rebuilds.” Afterward, he will discuss his creative process.
