Tuesday, August 4th NY-based arts organization Culture Project will be screening a special director’s cut of Pamela Yates’ film “The Reckoning” as part of their “Blueprint for Accountability” Series. The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion with the filmmaker, Christine Chung, the former Senior Trial Attorney at the International Criminal Court (ICC), and  Paul Van Zyl, co-founder of the International Center for Transitional Justice.

“The Reckoning” follows ICC lead prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo for 3 years, across four continents as he struggles to “forge a new paradigm of international justice.” Yates was recognized this past June at Cinereach’s annual dinner celebrating filmmakers for human rights, which was held in conjunction with the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival.

»  Cinereach Grant Recipients named among Filmmaker’s 25 New Faces

Congratulations to Paola Mendoza and Bradford Young (ENTRE NOS) and to Michael Palmieri and Donal Mosher (OCTOBER COUNTRY) for being included among Filmmaker Magazine’s “25 New Faces of Independent Film.” This annual survey “showcases 25 up-and-comers poised to shape the next generation of independent film.”

IndieWIRE quotes Filmmaker Editor-in-Chief Scott Macaulay, who says the lineup consists of “new film artists whose work we feel passionately about but also…people who are redefining the notion of a career in film…There are filmmakers who have embraced DIY strategies for both the production and distribution of their work, directors bouncing between documentary and fiction, and those for whom the online space is vital to their artistic identities. And, of course, there are a few contrarians, those whose resistance to all of these things is their own way of defining themselves!”
