STONE MOUNTAIN
With ‘Stone Mountain,’ Daniel Kaufman crafts a Faulkner-esque portrait of the community surrounding Stone Mountain Park in Georgia, home to the world’s largest bas-relief sculpture: a Confederate memorial carving…Kaufman’s constantly roaming camera eavesdrops on a community with deep racial divides. Seemingly without judgment, Kaufman weaves a complex tapestry of a community — and of a nation. This evocative work establishes Kaufman’s distinct and assured cinematic voice.”
