HBO Films Directors Dialogues: Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky
A major force in contemporary non-fiction film, the team of Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky (Paradise Lost 1-3, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster) will discuss their careers and approach to filmmaking, as well as the ethics of the “activist” documentary.

Impeccably crafted and engagingly narrated, their films are works that have truly made a difference–and nowhere is this more true than with the Paradise Lost trilogy.

Berlinger and Sinofsky will discuss their careers and approach to filmmaking, as well as the ethics of the “activist” documentary.
