Cameraperson

  • This is a past program

A boxing match in Brooklyn, the daily routine of a Nigerian midwife, an intimate family moment at home: Cameraperson weaves these scenes and others into a tapestry of footage captured over the 25-year career of documentary cinematographer Kirsten Johnson. Combining documentary, autobiography, and ethical inquiry, Cameraperson is a glimpse into one filmmaker’s personal journey. (2016, dir. Kirsten Johnson, English, Bosnian, Arabic, Dari, Hausa, and Fur, with English subtitles, 102 min.)

A Q&A with director Kirsten Johnson follows the screening.

This program is part of the Hammer's Bureau of Feminism initiative.
