Director
Richard Wolf (www.lobodocs.com) is an American-Brazilian documentary film director and producer. His films tackle social issues from a humanist perspective. Based in New York and Europe, he has directed 34 documentary films in five continents.
Wolf’s feature documentary A Requiem for Syrian Refugees was released theatrically internationally to critical acclaim, being considered “Powerfully direct” (The New York Times) and “Pained but beautiful” (The Village Voice). Wolf was one of the few filmmakers who managed to obtain entry into Afghanistan during Taliban rule before the September 11 attacks. His film Behind the Veil brought to Western audiences groundbreaking images of women’s underground resistance against fundamentalism.
His visual style has been likened to Dorothea Lange: “Gorgeous visual quality, thanks to the stark black and white cinematography that recalls the depression-era photographs of Dorothea Lange” (The Hollywood Reporter).
