'Cameraperson' A Review

Cameraperson is a documentary/visual-memoir from cinematographer Kristen Johnson. The film is a collection of scenes and scenettes filmed but unused from all of Johnson's career. Ranging from landscapes to interviews to home footage all cut together not on narrative or content but on mood and feel, one flowing into the next, creating a remarkably evocative and emotional portrait of a true soldier of cinema.

An incredibly moving portrait of a life behind the camera. The film lays naked stark beauty and startling cruelty. Revealing more about the world, life, and the human spirit with images and quiet moments than most ambitious plots can achieve. We are shown Afghanistan, Bosnia, and various locations in the US but they are all tied together by life's inevitable tragedies as well as its enduring grace. By people. By kindness. By survival and heartbreak.

A magnificent, stirring piece of art. A powerful and potent film full of heart and hope.

Don't Miss It.
