Artist Bio

Director Q&A

Overview

The Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers connects US-based documentary filmmakers with communities throughout the South for screenings and conversations around important stories and the art of filmmaking. This special screening of NORTH PUTNAM will be followed by a post-film discussion with director Joel Fendelman and O Cinema's Head of Programming Matt Walter.

THE FILM

NORTH PUTNAM depicts a year in the life of a rural Indiana school district and the community it serves. Crafted with empathy, a hyper-real reporting lens and skillfully lush cinematography, the film aims to reach across divides and to spark action-oriented conversations about the interdependence between public schools and community development.

SPECIAL GUEST

Joel is an award-winning filmmaker who strives to embrace socially conscious stories that deal with religion, social class and minorities and communicate the underlying connection between us all. His last film, Man on Fire, screened nationally on PBS and won an International Documentary Association Award. Other award-winning and nationally recognized films include Game Night, Remittance, and David.
