Kirsten Johnson discussing film "Cameraperson"

Feb 01, 2017

A Q&A with director Kirsten Johnson following a screening of her film Cameraperson (2016). 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. This program is part of the Hammer's Bureau of Feminism initiative.
