ABOUT KATHRYN
She may have started out as painter, but since making her directorial debut with 1985's The Loveless, filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow has found a new way to express her artistic vision-and in the process has made an indelible mark in the world of contemporary film. For two and a half decades Bigelow has been riveting audiences and defying convention with a body of work that includes the cult classic Near Dark, box office hit Point Break, provocative futuristic thriller Strange Days, thoughtful ensemble piece The Weight of Water and suspenseful submarine-set K-19: The Widowmaker. Her latest film, 2009's critically acclaimed The Hurt Locker, has been hailed as "a near perfect movie" by Time magazine, and deemed "a classic of fear, tension and bravery which will still be studied twenty years from now," by the New Yorker. In addition to earning her multiple awards from critics associations, as well as a Golden Globe nomination, The Hurt Locker has further cemented Bigelow's position as one of today's most thoughtful-and visionary-filmmakers.
