October's exceptional Doc U session features a live appearance by Lucy Walker, a rising star of documentary filmmaking whose recent films Waste Land and Countdown To Zero have been dominating 2010's major festivals! Eddie Schmidt, the International Documentary Association's Board President and himself an Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker, will lead you through a behind-the-scenes look at Walker's body of work: Waste Land, which follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys to the world's largest garbage dump to photograph catadores (self-designated pickers of recyclable materials); Blindsight, about the emotional journey of six blind Tibetan teenagers who climb up the north side of Mt. Everest; Devil's Playground, an examination of the struggles of Amish teenagers during their period of experimentation (rumspringa); and Countdown To Zero, the heart-pounding wakeup call to an intensifying nuclear arms race. The evening's on-stage conversation and film clips will be followed by an audience Q&A, and a reception on the Cinefamily's backyard Spanish patio!
