About

Konrad Aderer is a documentary filmmaker and freelance producer based in New York City. Much of Konrad’s independent work (lifeorliberty.org) has focused on communities targeted by immigration enforcement, including most recently Enemy Alien (2011) a feature documentary on the fight to free a post-9/11 detainee, a struggle which compels Konrad to confront his own family history of World War II internment. Konrad’s work has been supported by the Center for Asian American Media, New York State Council of the Arts, the Fledgling Fund, and other grantmakers. He holds a B.F.A. in Drama from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, received his first video production training at Third World Newsreel and the rest on the job, and is set to complete his Masters degree in Sociology at Brooklyn College in 2011.
