About
Adam studied documentary at the national film schools of Australia (AFTRS) & Cuba (EICTV), directing, editing & filming over two dozen documentaries from 1998-2012 for broadcasters including ABC, SBS & Al Jazeera. His films — including Echoes Across the Divide, ¿Cuántos Colores?, Carried by the Wind and Le Violoncelle — have been shown at numerous film festivals including the Havana, Paris, Sydney, St Tropez, London-Australian, Montréal World, and Asolo Art Film Festivals; Hotdocs, Flickerfest, Message to Man (Russia) and even at the UN headquarters in New York.
As well as being a qualified documentary cameraman/editor/director/producer he is also a video artist & freelance filmmaker whose works focus on climate change. Having just opened his solo exhibition in Galleri Svalbard he found himself marooned in Norway by Australia’s Covid-19 border closures; he's since become one of the Arctic’s 4 million human inhabitants, based in Troms (between Narvik and Tromsø), Northern Norway.
In 2014 he co-founded and directed the Vertical Film Festival in Katoomba, the first worldwide competition for tall-screen films and vertical videos. He is used to filming for different aspect ratios and delivery formats.
His documentary about an indigenous community's relationship to sea ice in Greenland is showing in 2025 in Tromsø & Reykjavik International Film Festivals among others; while his video artworks have toured the world including UNESCO headquarters, for the International Year of Glaciers' Preservation, 2025.
Adam also has a large library of stock footage pertaining to climate change and the renewable energy transition:
