Underground Zero |
One week after 9/11, independent filmmakers Jay Rosenblatt and Caveh Zahedi put out a call to over 150 experimental and documentary filmmakers, asking for contributions to a collective film project addressing those tragic events and their aftermath.
The response was overwhelming and UNDERGROUND ZERO, comprised of eleven short films that present an emotionally charged alternative to the images and messages put forth by the mainstream media on the subject, is the resulting film.
"Like everyone in America, we were glued to our televisions for days immediately following September 11th. Though we felt shocked and horrified by the attacks and the devastation, we also felt frustrated by the media's coverage. It was as if the media had decided what we, as Americans, were supposed to think and feel. Today, more than ever, there is a need for diverse voices to be heard...this is our attempt to make a meaningful contribution to current cultural and political discourse." - Jay Rosenblatt & Caveh Zahedi |
