Filmmaker Bio:
New York Times chief film critics A.O. Scott and Manohla Dargis named Alison Klayman one of their “20 Directors to Watch” on a list of rising international filmmaking talents under 40. Her feature documentary, Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry, was shortlisted for an Academy Award, nominated for two Emmys, and earned Klayman a Director’s Guild of America nomination. It premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival where it won a Special Jury Prize and was picked up in North America by IFC Films. Never Sorry has now been translated into over 26 languages and released theatrically around the world. It was also one of the highest grossing films of 2012 directed by a woman.
