CAMERAPERSON

A Bold Interrogation of the Power of the Camera 

By Director & Cinematographer Kirsten Johnson

Downloadable Poster: 

What does it mean to film somebody? What effect does it have on them - and what does it have on you? Kirsten Johnson is one of the most notable cinematographers working in documentary cinema today, having shot Citizenfour, Happy Valley, Fahrenheit 911, The Oath, The Invisible War, and dozens of other essential documentaries.  With her visually radical memoir CAMERAPERSON, Johnson presents an extraordinary and deeply poetic film of her own, drawing on the remarkable and varied footage that she has shot and reframing it in ways that illuminate moments and situations that have personally affected her. What emerges is an elegant meditation on the relationship between truth and the camera frame, as Johnson transforms scenes that have been presented in so many other directors' films as one kind of truth into another kind of story - one about personal journey, craft, and direct human connection. 102m.
