Mountain Lake PBS Productions

With more than 40 feature films, a list of directors and films a mile long, stunning backgrounds and an unstoppable partnership, Joana Vicente and Jason Kliot are more than producers; they are a force to be reckoned with, and an integral part of the 2010 Lake Placid Film Forum, this June 10th through 13th.

Joana Vicente is the Executive Director of the Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP), the oldest and largest organization serving the worldwide independent film community.  She has been a producer and executive producer on films by such acclaimed directors as Jim Jarmusch, Brian de Palma, Miguel Arteta, Hal Hartley, Nicole Holofcener, Katherine Dieckmann and Todd Solondz.

Jason Kliot is an Academy Award-nominated producer.

Vicente and Kliot will appear at the Film Forum in June along side actor Parker Posey, director Courtney Hunt, and other guests, as part of a panel discussion focusing on the achievements and new directions of women in film, moderated by Russell Banks.  Both Vicente and Kliot are slated to introduce the film “Broken English” (which stars Posey) and to engage in a Q&A after the screening.
