A Lectures on the Shore Event:
Join us for “Lights, Camera, Action: A Legacy of Fine Filmmaking,” an evening of fascinating, humorous, and amazing behind-the-scenes stories from two generations of filmmakers on May 9th at the Academy Art Museum. Enjoy refreshments and light hors d’oeuvres. The event kicks off the 2024 Lectures on the Shore series from Chesapeake Forum.
Husband and wife filmmakers are rare and entire filmmaking families even rarer, but in the Fine family it’s the norm. Holly and Paul Fine spent more than 40 years making documentaries for 60 Minutes, CBS Reports, 20:20, Nightline, National Geographic, and more. They were known for the distinctive style they employed while giving a human face to complex contemporary issues.
The younger generation, Sean Fine, and his wife, Andrea, have been working together for 20 years and are noted for their unflinching spirit and visually ravishing style. The pair recently won an Oscar for the short film, “Inocente.”
What to expect: Gain new insights into the complexities of reporting and producing feature stories on subjects the world wants honest answers about despite a growing number of online news sources of disparate leanings that are influencing public opinion. Catered event.
