Alan Roth, director, producer & editor
Alan Roth is based in Brooklyn, New York. His filmmaking career began
in mid-life, after a career in the U.S. Postal Service in Cleveland,
Ohio. The Breath Courses Through Us is the second of Roth’s examination of free jazz. His first film, Inside Out In The Open
(2001), is one of the few documentary films on free jazz. It features
interviews with 11 free jazz musicians along with live performances and
continues to be screened worldwide.
Besides these two feature documentary films, he is the video director for Women's Power Against HIV/AIDS: Love, Sex, & Choices, an
innovative on-line project that uses soap opera stories to educate
urban Black women about HIV prevention. Roth also creates shorter video
works, with an emphasis on culture and geographic place. |
