Michael Jacobsohn
Filmmaker
He began movies as a teenager at the Henry Street Settlement Movie Club, a film workshop in the Lower Eastside of New York, in the late 60s. His 16mm films have been shown nationally and internationally and are in the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts permanent collection. He was a staff editor at ABC News and Sports, for 28 years, where he was awarded a duPont-Columbia award and a George Polk award. For sports, he received an Emmy. Since leaving ABC News, he has made several short films, and he is now in the process of completing my fourth full length documentary: Cornelia Street Cafe In Exile.
