Filmmaker Vivienne Roumani set out on a quest to find out what it means to individuals, and society, to have the ability to answer nearly any question at lightning speed, anywhere, and at any time. A riveting debate involving Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos, Authors Guild President and best-selling novelist Scott Turow, and Harvard Librarian Robert Darnton about the questions confronting the word industry sets the backdrop as Ms. Roumani tackles the core issues of the future of ideas.
Vivienne Roumani is an independent producer/director based in New York City. She brings to “Out of Print”, a unique perspective gained as a director at the Library of Congress and the UC Berkeley Library, where she led digitization projects. Ms. Roumani’s previous documentary, “The Last Jews of Libya”, narrated by Isabella Rossellini, had its U.S. premiere at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival and was subsequently screened at major festivals and other venues around the world as well as on the Sundance channel.
