Guggenheim Symposium Honored Doc Filmmakers Joe Bergliner & Bruce Sinofsky

The Guggenheim Symposium is traditionally a special experience. Last night felt equally special in honoring documentary filmmakers Joe Berlinger & Bruce Sinofsky. The doc-duo has worked together for 25 years. “We love each other,” remarked Sinofsky. Jason Baldwin, one of the three freed “West Memphis Three” (WM3) joined the duo and gave salutatory remarks before excerpts of the filmmakers body of work was shown. Grace Guggenheim, filmmaker and daughter of four-time Academy Award-winning filmmaker Charles Guggenheim, for who the award is named after, presented the award to Berlinger and Sinofsky.
