COASTAL CLASH, KQED
Chris Shiflett (of the Foo Fighters), Composer/Performer
Airing Wednesdays at 7:30 and Fridays at 11 (with multiple repeats on KQED digital channels, see www.kqed.org/spark for more details), SPARK is a weekly television show, an educational outreach program and a Web site about Bay Area artists and arts organizations. More than a showcase for art objects and the artists who make them, SPARK takes the audience inside the creative process to witness the challenges, opportunities and rewards of making art. This is the second Emmy-award for SPARK, which is co-produced by KQED and BAVC.
COASTAL CLASH is a high-definition KQED-produced documentary that takes an in-depth look at the struggle for California's shores and asks: "Whose coast is it, anyway?" Currently being broadcast nationally and offered for sale on DVD, COASTAL CLASH was hailed as fair and balanced by the media and communities on both sides of the complicated issues upon its premiere on KQED Public Television. The award-winning soundtrack, composed and performed by Chris Shiflett of the Foo Fighters, can be heard at www.kqed.org/coastalclash.
A complete list of all the awardees can be seen on the Web site of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, San Francisco/Northern California Chapter at www.emmysf.tv.
