Life and career

[edit]

Dick was born inPhoenix, Arizona.He studied atNova Scotia College of Art and Design,California Institute of the Arts,and theAFI Conservatory.[6]His first documentary feature,Private Practices: The Story of a Sex Surrogate(1986), enjoyed a successful festival run.

Dick spent the following decade pursuing a variety of projects while working onSick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist(1997).Sickexamined the life of performance artistBob Flanagan,who utilized sadomasochism as a therapeutic device to help cope with cystic fibrosis and agreed to participate in the documentary only if his eventual death was included.[7]The film was an international festival hit, winning a Special Jury Prize at the 1997Sundance Film Festival[6]and helping to establish Dick's position in the world ofindependent filmmaking.

His next film,Chain Camera(2001), was made entirely with footage shot on consumer digital video cameras by students atJohn Marshall High School,near Dick's home in Los Angeles. The film premiered at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. Dick followed up this project withDerrida(2002), which he co-directed withAmy Ziering.The film explores the life and work of French philosopherJacques Derridawhile questioning the limitations of biography. It won theGolden Gate Awardat the 2002San Francisco International Film Festival.

Dick's next project,Twist of Faith(2005), followed a man who decides to speak out about his childhood sexual abuse by aCatholicpriest. Released during the midst of theCatholic sex abuse scandal,the film garnered widespread attention and was nominated for anAcademy AwardforBest Documentary Feature.[3][4]

Twist of Faithmarked the beginning of a politicization of Dick's work, as his subsequent films similarly exposed the hypocrisy of powerful organizations.This Film Is Not Yet Rated(2006) hired Becky Altringer to investigate theMotion Picture Association of Americaand its secretiveratings board.The film argues that the MPAA servesmajor Hollywood studios' interests at the expense of independent filmmakers and also that it often turns a blind eye to violence while working to effectively censor sexual content, especially when it involves homosexuality or female sexual empowerment.

Dick's 2009 film,Outrage,discusses supposedlyclosetedpoliticians, predominantlyRepublican,who vote against gay rights. The film also criticizes themainstream media'sreluctance to report on this subject. The film received anEmmynomination for Outstanding Investigative Journalism.

The Invisible War

[edit]

In 2012, Dick directedThe Invisible War,which examined the epidemic of rape in the U.S. military. It was heralded for exposing a culture of sexual abuse atMarine Barracks Washington.[8]Several government officials have commented on the film's influence on policy, includingSecretary of DefenseLeon Panetta,who has said that viewing the film convinced him to implement a wave of reforms designed to reduce the prevalence of military sexual assault.[9]

The film's revelations have also been discussed in congressional hearings and spurred lawmakers to seek better safeguards for assault survivors.[10]SenatorKirsten Gillibrandcredits the film with inspiring her to introduce theMilitary Justice Improvement Act,which would establish an independent judiciary to oversee accusations of sexual assault in the armed forces.[11]

Among other honors,The Invisible Warreceived a nomination for Best Documentary Feature at the 85thAcademy Awardsand wonEmmy Awardsfor Best Documentary Feature and Outstanding Investigative Journalism.[12][13]

The Hunting Ground

[edit]

In 2015,The Hunting Groundpremiered at the2015 Sundance Film Festival.Written and Directed by Dick and produced byAmy Ziering,the documentary is about the incidence of sexual assault on U.S. college campuses and the failed response of college administrators. It was released on February 27, 2015,[14]an edited version aired onCNNon November 22, 2015,[15][16]and was released on DVD the week of December 1, 2015.[17]It was released on Netflix in March 2016.[18]Lady Gagarecorded an original song, "Til It Happens to You",for the film.[19]

One day before the film's theatrical release, a bipartisan group of 12 U.S. Senators, accompanied by the film's lead subjects, Annie Clark and Andrea Pino, reintroduced theCampus Accountability and Safety Actrequiring universities to adopt standard practices for weighing sexual charges, and to survey students on the prevalence of assault.

The Hunting Groundwas nominated for a 2016Emmy Awardfor Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking and for theProducers Guild of America's Outstanding Producer of Documentary Theatrical Motion Picture award.[20]It won the 2016Stanley Kramer Awardgiven to "a production, producer or other individual whose achievement or contribution illuminates and raises public awareness of important social issues."[21]The Hunting Groundwas also one of the five movies nominated in the Documentary category of the 2016MTV Movie Awards.[22]

The Bleeding Edge

[edit]

The Bleeding Edgepremiered at the 2018Tribeca Film Festivalto rave reviews and received further critical acclaim after its worldwide release onNetflixon July 27, 2018.[citation needed]Currently at 100% onRotten Tomatoes[23]and aNew York TimesCritic's Pick of the Week,[24]the documentary, written and directed by Dick and produced by Ziering and Amy Herdy, is an investigation into the $400 billion medical device industry,[25]where the filmmakers find remarkably lax regulations, corporate coverups and profit-driven incentives that put patients at risk daily.[26]

The film's impact was felt immediately as a week before its release,The Bleeding Edgebecame a part of a national news story whenBayerremoved the birth control deviceEssurefrom the U.S. market, one of the many devices heavily criticized and warned about in the film.[27]Entertainment Weeklyadded it to its list of documentaries that have changed the world.[28]The documentary was awarded theGeorge Polk Awardfor Medical Reporting[29]—one of only a few documentaries to receive the award—and was nominated for aPeabody Award[30]and theGrierson Awardfor Best Science Documentary.[31]

On the Record

[edit]

On October 23, 2017, Dick and Ziering announced an upcoming film on equity, parity, abuse, and representation in Hollywood.[32]They had begun working on this project while screeningThe Invisible War.[33]In a statement to media, Ziering said, "Every time we screened that film in Hollywood, actors and executives would come up to us and say that they had had similar experiences right here. So we began working on this project and immediately found ourselves grappling with the same forces that had kept this story silenced for so long. Everyone was frightened about what would happen to their careers, and worried about whether they would be sued. Distributors were unwilling to fund or release the film, and few people were willing to talk on the record."[34]

Once theHarvey Weinstein sexual abuse allegationswent public, funding appeared through Impact Partners, which also financedThe Hunting GroundandThe Invisible War.[35]Ziering said, "People at long last are speaking out in large numbers, and we feel this industry, and the country, is finally ready for an unflinching film about the reality of sexual assault and harassment in Hollywood."[34]

On the Record,Dick and Ziering's film about sexual abuse allegations againstDef Jamco-founderRussell Simmons,premiered to a standing ovation at the2020 Sundance Film Festival.[36]The film, which includes the voices of nine alleged survivors such as Drew Dixon, Sheri Sher, Sil Lai Abrams, Jenny Lumet, and Kelly Cutrone, has received critical acclaim. Onreview aggregatorwebsiteRotten Tomatoes,the film holds an approval rating of 99% based on 71 reviews. The site's critical consensus reads: "On the Recorduses harrowing first-person accounts to powerfully and persuasively confront the entrenched sexism of an industry and its culture. "[37]OnMetacritic,the film has a weighted average score of 84 out of 100, based on 22 critic reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[38]

Allen v. Farrow

[edit]

Dick and Ziering's first documentary series,Allen v. Farrowis a four-part series that examines the sexual assault allegation made againstWoody Allenby his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow, who was seven when the abuse allegedly occurred. It follows the custody battle between Allen and his former partnerMia Farrow,his marriage to her adopted daughterSoon-Yi Previn,who is 35 years younger than Allen, and the events of subsequent years.[39]The series premiered onHBOon February 21, 2021, with the last episode airing on March 14. On Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an approval rating of 82% based on 56 reviews.[40]On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 75 out of 100, based on 25 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[41]

RAINNannounced that the series resulted in a nearly 20% increase in calls.[42]

Not So Pretty

[edit]

Dick and Ziering directedNot So Pretty,a four-part series about thebeauty industryand harmful chemicals in products, narrated byKeke Palmer.[43]It premiered on April 14, 2022, onHBO Max.[44]

Themes

[edit]

Dick's work often focuses on issues of secrecy, hypocrisy, and human sexuality. Many of his films explore subjects and issues that have traditionally been taboo, such as homosexuality,sadomasochism,and sexual abuse. InVariety,Owen Gleibermancalled Dick a "a deadly earnest but instinctively dramatic filmmaker."[45]Ryan Stewart of Cinematical wrote, "Kirby Dick has been compared to photographerDiane Arbusin the way he prefers to open the camera lens to the pained, the freakish and the inexplicable that exists on the margins of everyday life. "

Dick often employs intricately editedmontagesthat blend together television news clips, archival footage, music videos, documentary interviews, and other sources. Beginning withThis Film Is Not Yet Rated,he has also pioneered applying the "fair use"doctrine to appropriate copyrighted footage without obtaining licenses or compensating rights holders.[35]

Dick often employs acinéma véritéstyle. He has said that he prefers to work this way because it allows for a more complex relationship with his subjects.[46]In many cases, Dick has also encouraged his subjects to record their own footage, which is then incorporated into his film.

Critics have increasingly remarked on the impact of his films asinvestigative journalism,withThe New York Times'sA. O. Scottwriting, "Kirby Dick has become one of the indispensable muckrakers of American cinema, zeroing in on frequently painful stories about how power functions in the absence or failure of accountability"[47]andEntertainment Weeklyincluding three of his films on its list of documentaries that have "changed the world".[28]
