IDA Conversation Series: Steve James
September 26, 2016
For our first IDA Conversation Series event in Chicago, we teamed up with Kartemquin Films to explore of the extraordinary work and career of the Academy Award® nominated director Steve James (Hoop Dreams, The Interrupters, Life Itself). He shares his theme of “Craft” and storytelling techniques in a career retrospective with Adam Kempenaar, host of the weekly film podcast/WBEZ radio show Filmspotting. This conversation was part of Kartemquin Films' celebration of 50 years of democracy through documentary and 50 years of filmmaking in Chicago.
