Edet Belzberg, aboveground: filmmaker gets MacArthur Fellowship
Edet Belzberg, director of the wrenching Children Underground is a 2005 MacArthur Fellow.
The 35-year-old Belzberg, the Foundation writes, "is a documentary filmmaker whose films are distinguished by her choice of subjects, in-depth treatment of time and place, and elegant storytelling. In Belzberg’s signature film, Children Underground, she follows and films a group of homeless children living in a train station in Bucharest, Romania. Raw, graceful, and insightful, [her film] personalizes the often dangerous and always chaotic and uncertain world of youngsters casually abandoned by their families and the larger society..."
