Tom Blanton: Featured in new documentary, "Secrecy"
The new documentary "Secrecy," made by Harvard professors Peter Galison and Robb Moss, premiered this past week at the Sundance Film Festival, featuring National Security Archive director Tom Blanton in a leading role and on the after-show panels answering questions from Sundance audiences.
Blanton participated in the premiere showing on January 18 in Park City, the follow-up showing on January 19 also in Park City, and the noontime showing on Sunday January 20 at the screening room in Robert Redford's Sundance Resort.
The reviewer for Zoom-In.com remarked that "Mr. Blanton comes off like a philosopher of national security, waxing downright poetic about the myriad issues of information control and even the erotic allure of secrets. He has so much to say that one suspects that Galison and Moss could have just as easily filmed his monologue--a classified information cousin to An Inconvenient Truth's environmental lecture would have emerged."
Reviewers from Hollywood Reporter and Reuters this week report that "Documentaries stole the show at the Sundance Film Festival over the weekend" and that "Peter Galison and Robb Moss' national security expose 'Secrecy'" was among the "documentaries creating late acquisitions buzz."
