On May 4, join Focus On honouree Elizabeth Klinck and award-winning director Jennifer Baichwal for an illuminating conversation about the integral role of visual research in the doc making process.

Imagine, if you will, a beautiful, statuesque woman—in the biz, dubbed the Queen of Visual Research and Rights Clearances—with a courteous, whimsical manner, and the mind of Star Trek’s Data. Perhaps, like Antony Thomas, who says, “she is the finest researcher I have come across in my entire career,” you have to be in that coterie of lucky filmmakers who have worked with her to fully appreciate Elizabeth Klinck’s work. She’s made their films sing, and all who have had the pleasure want her to do it with them again.
