David Fedele is an award-winning documentary filmmaker from Australia. He entered the world of documentary filmmaking through a love of travel and exploring different cultures, having traveled extensively throughout Australasia, Europe, the Middle East, South America and Africa. Generally working alone, self-producing and self-funding his projects, David is particularly interested in exploring cultural, humanitarian and social justice issues. David’s first film “PNG Style” follows David on a three-month solo journey around Papua New Guinea, and was awarded “Best Documentary” at the Portobello Film Festival 2010 in London, United Kingdom. David returned to Papua New Guinea again in 2011, to produce “Bikpela Bagarap (Big Damage)”, a film that explores illegal logging in PNG, and the impact this is having on local indigenous communities and the environment. This film is currently screening at many festivals around the world, and was recently awarded “Special Mention” at The Village Doc Festival 2012 in Milan, Italy. David’s latest film “E-WASTELAND” was produced in early 2012, and without dialogue or narration, presents a visual portrait of unregulated electronic waste (e-waste) recycling in Ghana, West Africa, where electronics are not seen for what they once were, but rather for what they have become. The film is currently screening at festivals around the world and was recently awarded “Special Prize of the Jury” at the Matsalu International Nature Film Festival in Estonia.
