Sunday, September 28 at 4:05: Q&A with director Kristen Johnson after the screening
What does it mean to film someone? How does it affect the subject—and what does it do to the filmer? Johnson, the cinematographer behind such essential documentaries as Citizenfour, Farenheit 9/11, The Invisible War and dozens more, draws on the remarkable footage she’s shot throughout her career to craft an extraordinary, impressionistic, deeply poetic self-portrait. Revisiting and recontextualizing her life’s work, her film becomes a meditation on film’s uncanny ability to connect us to each other.
“Transcendent…there’s never been a memoir quite like this.” -Eric Kohn, Indiewire
