Eve-Laure Moros

Eve-Laure Moros has been working in independent film and television for over ten years. Currently, she is a Producer on a new documentary series for PBS about contemporary visual artists and the relevance of their work to social and political issues of our time. Prior to this project, she was Associate Producer at Alternate Current for The Art of Influence for Bravo Television, directed by Oscar nominee Deborah Dickson, a documentary about contemporary artists discussing their artistic influences, which features Athol Fugard on Bertolt Brecht, Kenzaburo Oe on Gunter Grass and many other artists discussing the interconnection of politics and art. Before working in documentary film, Moros began her career on independent feature films, and has worked with a number of award-winning directors, including MacArthur fellow Yvonne Rainer, on Privilege and Rockefeller grantee Amir Naderi, on Manhattan by Numbers, the Iranian director’s first American feature. Moros has produced and directed a short feminist film The Guy Next Door and produced the short film Sandman which won numerous film festival prizes. She has worked at several film production companies, such as Bill Fertik & Co, where she researched and wrote proposals for documentary films dealing with human rights issues.
Before shooting Made in Thailand, Moros worked as volunteer on a farm project in the north of Thailand which aimed to aid Thailand’s displaced rural communities. In the winter of 1995-96, she returned to Thailand to begin initial shooting for Made in Thailand. Moros worked closely with Friends of Women, a Bangkok-based feminist NGO as well as another labor NGO, the Center for Labor Training and Information. After her return, Moros also worked with the New York-based National Labor Committee to help them expand their work as labor advocates in the Americas to Southeast Asia in their well-publicized campaigns to raise awareness of sweat-shops and other abuses of multi-national corporations.
After studying Political Science and Art History at Barnard College, where Moros was awarded honors for her work on the politics of post-modern art, she went on to earn her Masters degree in Cinema Studies from New York University, where she focused on post-colonial and women’s issues. She was a founding member of Cine-Sisters, a grass roots organization of women filmmakers. Moros is also a published writer.(07/00)
