Cameraperson 2016 123movies

Watch: Cameraperson 2016 123movies, Full Movie Online – A boxing match in Brooklyn; life in postwar Bosnia and Herzegovina; the daily routine of a Nigerian midwife; an intimate family moment at home: these scenes and others are woven into Cameraperson, a tapestry of footage collected over the twenty-five-year career of documentary cinematographer Kirsten Johnson. Through a series of episodic juxtapositions, Johnson explores the relationships between image makers and their subjects, the tension between the objectivity and intervention of the camera, and the complex interaction of unfiltered reality and crafted narrative. A hybrid work that combines documentary, autobiography, and ethical inquiry, Cameraperson is both a moving glimpse into one filmmaker’s personal journey and a thoughtful examination of what it means to train a camera on the world..
Plot: As a visually radical memoir, CAMERAPERSON draws on the remarkable footage that filmmaker Kirsten Johnson has shot and reframes it in ways that illuminate moments and situations that have personally affected her. What emerges is an elegant meditation on the relationship between truth and the camera frame, as Johnson transforms scenes that have been presented on Festival screens as one kind of truth into another kind of story—one about personal journey, craft, and direct human connection.

Experimental Movie
Kirsten Johnson has been working in the camera department and as cinematographer, producer and director for decades; her first credit, according to the Internet Movie Database, was in 1996. This movie is a series of excerpts from the movies she has handled the camera on, all over the world, from Afghanistan to Serbia, to Brooklyn, to her family. She calls the results onscreen an album, and a betrayal: that you may have someone’s permission when filming, but later…. in some ways it is a betrayal: particularly when she films her mother in the grip of Alzheimer’s.

But even an album requires organizing. Even if you include everything, the order of each sequence’s inclusion affects its meaning; that’s the point of the Kuleshov Effect. So what does this movie add up to, what does it say, what does it mean?

That is a question that can only be answered by the audience, the often unremarked component of cinema. A good film maker, a good editor, can often estimate what that result is, but only the audience can say what it is. Theory and practice: try it out and see what the result is. It’s experimental cinema. The creator may have an opinion, but, well, at that point, it’s no longer Miss Johnson’s movie.

Fascinating movie, but not an autobiography
Cameraperson (2016) is a documentary, directed by Kirsten Johnson, about her own career. Johnson has directed–or done the cinematography–for many documentaries that certainly appear to be extremely interesting. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen any of them, so I can’t comment directly about her work. She calls Cameraperson an autobiography, but I don’t think that’s really accurate. We do learn a bit about Johnson and her family in the movie, but mostly we see a patchwork quilt of her work. (I say patchwork quilt because Johnson has presented short segments of her films in seemingly random order.)

Michael Moore–who appears in one of the segments–is a documentary film director who is always in the center of his movies. However, Johnson doesn’t seem to appear much in her own films. (One exception is a movie she filmed in Bosnia. She returned five years later to interview the same people, and they treated her like an old friend.)

Johnson is talented, so a short segment of each film whets your appetite. However, each segment is too short to be satisfying. Also, it’s hard to learn why she makes documentaries. Is it just what she does, or does she have a political or social agenda? Johnson doesn’t tell us, so we have to speculate.

We saw this film at the excellent Little Theatre in Rochester, NY. It will work almost as well on the small screen.
