Alan Greenberg is an American film director, screenwriter, photographer and author. Greenberg visited Jamaica from a young age, and was a friend of Bob Marley. Following Marley's death, Marley's family asked Greenberg to make a film about Marley. In 1981, Greenberg filmed Land of Look Behind, a documentary film that includes footage of Marley's funeral as well as scenes filmed in Jamaica's remote Cockpit Country and the capital city of Kingston. The film ended up being more of a visionary portrait of the Jamaica of that period than a film primarily about Marley. The film has won considerable critical acclaim, as well as winning the Gold Hugo Award for Best Documentary in the Chicago International Film Festival, the U.S.'s largest film competition. Land of Look Behind has also been honored as the best American documentary film of its era, and the legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog says "'Land of Look Behind' has achieved things never seen before in cinema." Greenberg has worked closely with Werner Herzog on many projects. He served as a special unit photographer on the films Cape Fear" by Martin Scorsese and 1900, by Bernardo Bertolucci.
