Discovery Communications, Inc.
Discovery Silverdocs
Recently H&A worked along side Discovery Communications
and the American Film Institute to put on the 5th annual Silverdocs
Festival, a week long international festival celebrating the
creative vision of independent filmmakers and the power of the
documentary to expand our view of the world around us.
H&A managed the invitation lists, RSVP’s and registration
for the Opening Night of this momentous event which attracted
more than 1,000 people to watch the screening of Pete Seeger:
The Power of Song, followed by a post screening performance by
folk music greats, Ysaya Barnwell (of Sweet Honey in the Rock),
Odetta and Tom Paxton. H&A also assisted with the 4th annual
Charles Guggenheim Symposium, a conversation with Jonathan Demme,
at the AFI a few days later.
The events were held at the AFI Silver
Theater and Cultural Center in Downtown Silver Spring and were
followed by a gala reception at the Discovery Communications
World Headquarters. VIP’s
in attendance included top executives in the film industry and
members of the diplomatic corps.
