Amal Ahmed, Kartemquin Films, Summer 2020, NEH
During my remote internship at Kartemquin Films, I was able to virtually collaborate with Kartemquin's associates to organise and maintain their FM Pro database and their online server. I also interviewed multiple Kartemquin's project leaders about their roles in earlier films from the collective. From my interviews I was able to collect information about films in the archive that needed more contextualisation, and write film project histories. I was able to learn a lot about the history of Kartemquin, and learn from associates at Kartemquin about filmmaking techniques, formats, and organization.
