Cameraperson (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

Description

A boxing match in Brooklyn; life in postwar Bosnia and Herzegovina; the daily
routine of a Nigerian midwife; an intimate family moment at home with the
director: Kirsten Johnson weaves these scenes and others into her film
Cameraperson, a tapestry of footage captured over her twenty-five-year career
as a documentary cinematographer. 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 with crafted narrative. A work that
combines documentary, autobiography, and ethical inquiry, Cameraperson is a
moving glimpse into one filmmaker s personal journey and a thoughtful
examination of what it means to train a camera on the world. DIRECTOR-APPROVED
