The Artemis Rising Foundation is dedicated to supporting media projects that transform culture and challenge the status quo. Led by Founder and CEO, Regina K. Scully, the foundation champions powerful stories about some of the most challenging social justice issues of our time — including gender-bias, healing, trauma, mental health, addiction and women’s empowerment.
Obsessed with Light pulls back the curtain on Loïe Fuller, a wildly original dancer and inventor who pioneered the creative use of electric lighting for the stage. The documentary delves into the astonishing influence Fuller’s work has on contemporary culture including artists like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Taylor Swift, and Shakira. Anyone who has been to a rock concert has seen a modern version of the lighting designs that Fuller patented over a century ago.
Sabine Krayenbühl and Zeva Oelbaum co-directed the NEH- supported documentary Letters from Baghdad. Krayenbühl’s editing work includes Oscar and Independent Spirit Award nominated My Architect and the Emmy-winning The Hunt for Planet B. Oelbaum also produced Ahead of Time, a feature-length documentary about journalist Ruth Gruber.
Hamptons Doc Fest now in its 16th year, is a nonprofit organization founded by filmmakers to champion and celebrate the rich, diverse and challenging world of non-fiction film. We recognize and honor documentary films and filmmakers who deserve a closer look.
