喬．威爾森 Joe Wilson

​

美國導演和製片。關心社會運動和人權議題，但對傳統組織與宣傳方式的限制感到失望，因而拿起攝影機，用影像與故事碰觸更多觀眾，促使群眾加入社會行動。2004 年，喬威爾森回到賓夕凡尼亞州的石油城小鎮，拍製 Qwaves 的首部紀錄片《Out in the Silence》（2009），於林肯中心人權觀察電影節放映，大獲好評，獲艾美獎肯定。影片後來在美國公共電視網（PBS）和全國各地 1000 多個地方放映，成為全國運動的一部分，其推動方式也成為後續作品效仿模式。

​

Joe Wilson got involved in documentary filmmaking through his professional work and social activism on human rights issues. Frustrated by the limitations of traditional organizing and advocacy, he picked up a camera with hopes of reaching broader audiences with stories that would inform and compel people to act. “Otros Amores,” his debut film, won the Videomaker National Documentary Film Challenge, and his PBS documentary “Out in the Silence,” about his hometown of Oil City, Pennsylvania, won an Emmy.
