Today on Art of the Cut we speak with Oscar-winning director, Raoul Peck and editor Alexandra Strauss. Both have been on Art of the Cut in the past for Raoul’s film, Ernest Cole: Lost and Found.

Raoul is an Oscar-nominated, BAFTA-winning and Emmy-winning director/producer for his documentary I Am Not Your Negro. He was also a winner of Cannes Golden Eye Award for Ernest Cole: Lost and Found and a nominee for Orwell: 2+2=5. He was an International Documentary Award winner for Exterminate All the Brutes. And received Cinema Eye Honors Award nominations for I Am Not Your Negro, and Exterminate all the Brutes.

Alexandra has been nominated for numerous awards for her editing, including Cinema Eye Honors Awards for Best Editing for Orwell 2+2=5, Ernest Cole: Lost and Found, I Am Not Your Negro, and Exterminate all the Brutes.

On this episode we discuss the importance of voice-over in documentary, how and why to deliver tone, and the power of juxtaposing historical archival with modern news footage.
