This September 17 during SarahFest hosted by Sarah Isom Center, a documentary about women cinematographers, Cameraperson, will be a part of the free Monday Movies Series hosted by Oxford Film Festival at the Burns Belfry (710 Jackson Ave E) at 6:30 pm.
Rather than offering a straightforward narrative, the film invites us behind the lens into this camera person’s world, where we witness a captivating collage of episodic images and stories connected thematically, textually, sonically, and emotionally. The film vividly combines documentary, autobiography, and ethical inquiry.
Kirsten Jonson is an critically acclaimed cinematographer with a fearless approach. Cameraperson was shot over decades of traveling around the world showing different perspectives and hoping the audience find themselves in a new “territory.”
