Cameraperson (2016)
Directed by Kirsten Johnson
“A moving glimpse into one filmmaker's personal journey and a thoughtful examination of what it means to train a camera on the world.”
Documentary · 1h 42m
As a visually radical memoir, CAMERAPERSON draws on the remarkable footage that filmmaker Kirsten Johnson has shot and reframes 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 on Festival screens as one kind of truth into another kind of story—one about personal journey, craft, and direct human connection.
