Katerina Cizek was born in 1969 in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. She is a writer and director, known for Seeing Is Believing: Handicams, Human Rights and the News (2002), A Short History of the Highrise (2013) and The Dead Are Alive: Eyewitness in Rwanda (1999).
[on interactive film-making] Theatrical documentary film tells a specific kind of story really well, which is usually a major, life-changing event, often in one character's life, like an incredible cinematic journey. But those aren't the only documentary stories to be told. I think what the Web offers is an opportunity to examine and understand very small everyday details of our lives.
