Cameraperson

Cameraperson
Documentary | 2016 | NR. 2hr 2min
DIRECTOR: Kirsten Johnson

A boxing match in Brooklyn; life in postwar Bosnia and Herzegovina; the daily routine of a Nigerian midwife; an intimate family moment at home: these scenes and others are woven into Cameraperson, a tapestry of footage collected over the twenty-five-year career of documentary cinematographer Kirsten Johnson. Through a series of episodic juxtapositions, Johnson explores the relationships between image makers and their subjects, the tension between the objectivity and intervention of the camera, and the complex interaction of unfiltered reality and crafted narrative. A hybrid work that combines documentary, autobiography, and ethical inquiry, Cameraperson is both a moving glimpse into one filmmaker's personal journey and a thoughtful examination of what it means to train a camera on the world.

Reviews
Cameraperson is without a doubt the best documentary of 2016, and just maybe the best film of the year, period.
Glenn Dunks, Film Experience
One of the most original, challenging and sometimes infuriating documentaries of recent times.
