Since he established Life or Liberty (lifeorliberty.org), a nonprofit multimedia project, in 2002, Konrad Aderer’s documentary work has focused on immigrants targeted by post-9/11 policies. His 2005 short Rising Up: The Alams screened internationally and in the U.S. at venues including Brooklyn Academy of Music and the New York Museum of Modern Art’s Documentary Fortnight. By a twist of fate in August 2005, Konrad found himself in the direct path of Hurricane Katrina, an experience he documented in his first personal work, A Corner of Her Eye. Konrad’s most recent grants include a James Yee Fellowship from the Center for Asian American Media and a grant from New York State Council of the Arts, for his first feature documentary, “Enemy Alien,” on the fight to free a Palestinian activist detained by Homeland Security, which will be completed in 2008. Konrad freelances as a field producer, cameraman and editor for NGOs, corporations and nonprofits including USAID and the ACLU.
