Professor Joram ten Brink is Director of the Centre for Production and Research in Documentary Film at the University of Westminster. He is also executive producer alongside Werner Herzog, Errol Morris and Andre Singer of one of the most talked about films of the year - The Act of Killing, directed by Joshua Oppenheimer
According to Herzog, ‘I have not seen a film as powerful, surreal and frightening in at least a decade … it is unprecedented in the history of cinema’. Despite the film’s winning over 25 international awards, few people are aware that this landmark documentary started as an academic research project funded by a £420K AHRC grant overseen by Joram ten Brink. In addition to producing and directing a number of documentaries and experimental films, Brink is the author of Building Bridges: the cinema of Jean Rouch (2008) and Killer Images: documentary film, memory and the performance of violence (2013).
