Professor Kelly Anderson Wins the '2017 DWG George C. Stoney Award for Outstanding Documentary Work'

Professor Kelly Anderson, of the Film & Media Department, is the recipient of the 2017 DWG George C. Stoney Award for Outstanding Documentary Work. The selection of this year's winner was announced by Robert Johnson, Jr., co-chair of the University Film & Video Foundation's Documentary Working Group (DWG).  Since 2013, the “Stoney” award has been given by the DWG caucus to an individual who demonstrates the values George Stoney promoted throughout his career--stories that represent the poor, the lesser known, the working class, and as a hallmark, engage social injustice themes. In addition to documentary work, the award also recognizes writing as well as media advocacy work that is produced over time.

Kelly Anderson’s most recent film is My Brooklyn, a documentary about gentrification and the redevelopment of Downtown Brooklyn that was broadcast on the PBS World series America ReFramed. Her other work includes Never Enough, a documentary about clutter which won an award for Artistic Excellence at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, and Every Mother’s Son (with Tami Gold), a documentary about mothers whose children were killed by police officers, which won the Audience Award at the Tribeca Film Festival, aired on POV, and was nominated for a national Emmy for Directing.
