Cameraperson

In a visually radical memoir, "Cameraperson" transforms the remarkable footage shot by filmmaker Kirsten Johnson into a personal and poetic exploration of truth and human connection. As she reframes scenes from her life as a cinematographer, Johnson illuminates moments that have personally affected her, revealing an elegant meditation on the relationship between the camera frame and our perception of reality. This autobiographical collage documentary is both a distillation of Johnson's life and career and an inventive experiment in storytelling, one that distills its subject into an experience that should prove immediately absorbing for audiences unfamiliar with her work.
