New Gel Speaker Announcement ("Born Into Brothels")
I'm happy to announce that Academy Award winner Ross Kauffman, co-director of this year's Best Documentary Born Into Brothels, has confirmed that he will speak at Gel. He will talk about the phenomenal work he and Zana Briski did (and are doing) to spotlight the amazingly talented children of Calcutta's red light district, and the beautiful photography that the kids are creating.
Ross's co-director Zana Briski, who originated the project, may also speak at Gel - to be confirmed.
If you haven't yet seen "Born Into Brothels", go see it. I feel confident saying that it's the best movie you'll see all year.
More info about the documentary, and Kids With Cameras, which is helping to organize support around this important project: here's the website.
A big thanks to my friend Rick Smolan - at www.againstallodds.com - also a Gel 2005 speaker, for making the connection.
Sign up now for Gel 2005 (April 28-29 in NYC) to hear these unforgettable speakers.
