Podcasts about Cameraperson

"Cameraperson" is a documentary directed by Kirsten Johnson that treats the film as a memoir of her life. In this day and age with ties to social media, almost no moment is lost. We share everything and not all of it is worth sharing. Let's just be for real. This film shows us who Kirsten Johnson is through not only her work but her personal life. She shares us crime, loss, and murder. We also see new life, love, and the freedom of where she lives which is the USA. She goes to places where she she purposefully puts herself and company in danger but all of this, to understand life. To Understand people, to make a sense as to what we can provide for life. I like this documentary a lot. We see it through lengthy shots of all kinds situations and they all tie in together, good editing. I liked learning how to interview people. Johnson is very particular about how she films. She definitely puts thought into how she wants the shot to look like and it definitely doesn't want it to be plain and simple. I like the consideration of the shots she chose because I'm sure she has hard drives upon hard drives of footage. She shares us her own vulnerability with footage of different points of her aging mom and you can see how impactful it to her. What's crazy overall about this film, is the fact that there's no voice-over talking points. Just footage. RAW footage. When pieced together the way she did it, she wins in life. Forever.#cameraperson #kirstenjohnson

When the U.S. military pulled out of Afghanistan in 2021, effectively ending America's longest war, that seemed like the end of the story for most journalists. But for director Ibrahim Nash'at, the story that he wanted to tell was just beginning. In his haunting new documentary “Hollywoodgate”, Nash'at does what virtually no other journalist or filmmaker has dared to do: tag along with the victorious Taliban military as it goes about reasserting itself over every aspect of Afghan society. Ibrahim and producer Shane Boris (“Navalny”, “Fire of Love”) join Ken on the podcast to discuss the immense challenges and ever present dangers that Ibrahim faced during production. What drew Ibrahim to this story initially and what convinced Shane to join him as one of the producers? How did Ibrahim come to focus on two main figures in the film, and how did they complete “two sides of the story”? And how did seeing the word “Hollywoodgate” written on the entrance to an abandoned U.S. base in Kabul provide a moment of clarity for Ibrahim — and, ultimately, lead to the making of this extraordinary and unforgettable film?   Follow: @ibrahimnsht and @shane.boris on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter/X   Hidden Gems: Ibrahim Nash'at: “Return to Homs” Shane Boris: “Talking Heads”, “Cameraperson”    

Émission spéciale et fleuve pour fêter nos 15 années sur les ondes et notre 16ème saison.

Pour le détail de tout ce qui n'a pas été évoqué, vous pouvez vous reporter aux différentes listes ci-dessous.

Episode SummaryIn this episode, I'm joined by two special guests, harm reduction activist Julie Stampler and award-winning documentary filmmaker Jamie Boyle.  We discuss the opioid epidemic through the frame of the incredible documentary Anonymous Sister, directed by Jamie Boyle, produced by Marilyn Ness, and executive produced by Julie Stampler. This is the story of one American family, but what happened to them could happen to any family.  We learn about Julie's brother, Jonathan,  who died from a heroin overdose, and how his death led Julie into her life of activism and harm reduction work. We see two different paths to managing addiction and substance abuse disorder. This is a story told by two women who watched their siblings suffer.  This show is dedicated to all the siblings out there who are anonymous witnesses.For the visually-minded who prefer to listen and read or for those who need closed captioning, watch the transcript video here: https://youtu.be/oD0vVqw-w6wAbout Anonymous SisterWhen a young woman turns to the camera for refuge, she ends up with a firsthand account of what will become the deadliest man-made epidemic in United States history. From the producers of Dick Johnson Is Dead and Summer of Soul, Anonymous Sister is two-time Emmy Award winner Jamie Boyle's chronicle of her family's collision with the opioid epidemic.Anonymous Sister will be playing at IFC Center in New York June 2nd - 8th and Laemmle Theater in Los Angeles June 16th - 22nd, with more cities to follow.  Select screenings will be accompanied by special events and panels.

Julie's harm reduction advocacy work aims to help people who use drugs stay alive rather than pushing for abstinence-only approaches. She advocates for the importance of overdose prevention programs, training people on when and how to use and distribute naloxone/Narcan, and advocating for overdose prevention centers that focus on keeping people alive with access to social service resources. Julie's life-saving work stems from her brother Jonathan's untimely death from a heroin overdose 20 years ago. In a twist of irony, her stepfather Jack Fishman was the scientist credited with inventing naloxone which can reverse an overdose from heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications—when given in time. https://juliestampler.com/From This EpisodeHow to use Narcan training video: https://www.anonymoussister.com/resourcesFind Naloxone near youJulie's stepfather Jack FishmanThe Drug That Saves Lives Even if It's Never Usedhttps://dancesafe.org/ - site Julie mentions where you can order fentanyl test strips and drug testing kitsMarilyn Ness5 myths about using Suboxone to treat opiate addictionDEA takes aggressive stance toward pharmacies trying to dispense addiction medicineAbout XylazineFind and Follow Carole and Wisdom Shared:https://www.caroleblueweiss.com/Subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WisdomSharedCaroleBlueweissFollow me and send me a message on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/caroleblueweissFollow me and send me a message on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carole-blueweiss-pt-dpt-23970279/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carole_blueweiss/The Wisdom Shared TeamAudio Engineering by Steve Heatherington of Good Podcasting WorksSocial Media and Marketing Coordinator: Kayla Nelson

Cameraperson es un documental dirigido por Kirsten Johnson, camarógrafa en muchos documentales que recopila sus materiales y descartes en una especie de diario. Una película caleidoscópica y rara de esas nos gustan tanto.

Welcome to an extra special, quickie episode of Scene Unseen, where we break down what we've been watching recently, theme be damned. This time we're talking about SIX MOVIES (!!!) we've watched over the past couple months and give you the quick reasons why they stuck with us.

In this Art of the Cut special, we talk to Nels Bangerter, the editor of the revealing archival documentary "Riotsville, USA." I last spoke to Nels on Art of the Cut for the release of another documentary "Dick Johnson is Dead." He's also edited documentaries including "Cameraperson," "Let the Fire Burn," "You See Me" and "32 Sounds." His work has been included on PBS Shows "POV" and on "Dan Rather Reports." Visit Frame.io Insider to read more about this movie, along with exclusive insider media and photos.

In this episode, Brian is joined by Carlo of The Movie Loot podcast to look into the documentary form, and six films that sometime prove that truth is stranger than fiction. We discuss "Vernon, Florida," "Hoop Dreams," "Bowling for Columbine," "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters," "Grizzly Man" and "Cameraperson."

My guest this week is Anna Godas, the CEO of documentary distribution company Dogwoof, who have released films such as The Alpinist, The Act of Killing, Blackfish, Cameraperson, Citizenfour, Free Solo, Honeyland, Minding the Gap, OJ:Made in America, RBG and many many more. Quite simply, if Dogwoof are putting a doc into cinemas, you're probably in for a treat. Their latest film is Becoming Cousteau, directed by Liz Garbus which is released this Friday and provides an inside look at the life of Jacques-Yves Cousteau, and the experiences that made him the man who inspired generations to protect the Earth. Anna has steered the company from a small UK indie film distributor to a leading global brand in the field of documentary and was directly responsible for the creation of Dogwoof's international sales arm, as well as the creation of Dogwoof's fund T-Dog Productions. Anna is now focusing on growing Dogwoof's production and development side, focusing on feature docs, doc series, remake rights, podcast and shorter content. Her mission is to create a fully integrated true stories mini-studio.  We talk about the origin story of Dogwoof, as well as how her role as evolved over the years and since becoming a mother. We discuss how she strives to create an open, transparent and healthy working culture, how the documentary landscape is changing and why, and why you can't really plan for the future.  It was a joy to speak to Anna and hope you enjoy this insight into one of the most prolific distributors out there.  This is episode 94 of Best Girl Grip.

When veteran documentary cinematographer Kirsten Johnson transitioned to directing with 2016's "Cameraperson," which was assembled from hundreds of hours of b-roll footage Johnson had shot over the years, it was unclear what a follow-up from her would look like. What we got - the new DICK JOHNSON IS DEAD - is a project both harrowing and whimsical: Johnson inviting her beloved father, showing early signs of dementia and failing health, to stage (and re-stage) his own death. Adam and Josh agree that the film is "a miracle." Also something of a miracle is Barbara Loden's first - and only - film, the verité-style WANDA from 1970, the next film in the Overlooked Auteurs Marathon. 0:00 - Billboard 1:07 - Review: "Dick Johnson is Dead" Tim Heidecker, "Fear of Death" 27:21 - Next Week/Notes 37:30 - Polls 45:32 - Overlooked Auteurs #4: "Wanda" 1:08:24 - Outro Learn more about your ad choices.

Lacey Joy works as a film loader and 2nd camera assistant. She talks passionately about how her first love, photography, led her to the camera department, gets into her first job in the film industry, and shares some excellent advice for on-set newcomers and camera department hopefuls. Her credits include “August Osage County,” “American Horror Story,” and re-shoots for “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.”

This week we have been recording at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, talking about the highlights in its film lineup. One of the most anticipated movies there was the new film from Kirsten Johnson. Johnson's first feature was the incredible Cameraperson, assembled partly from images she shot while working as a cinematographer on other films. Her new feature is called Dick Johnson Is Dead, and it's innovative in a different way. It's a portrait of her father and her relationship with him as he faces the challenges of growing old. But part of how Johnson expresses this coping process is through staged scenes, sometimes showing her father in heaven, sometimes having imaginary accidents. The result brings us closer to both the filmmaker and her father and to the inevitable horizon of mortality. At Sundance, after the film's premiere, Film Comment Assistant Editor Devika Girish sat down with Johnson for a fascinating discussion of Dick Johnson Is Dead.

This week I was feeling burnt out from writing, so I decided to work on fun, creative stuff instead. I share some insights into how I organize my tasks so that I can be flexible and work on the right tasks at the right time. The big thing is that I use a bullet journal, and I do a weekly brain dump of all my tasks spread out so I can scan through them easily. I make sure to divide big tasks into small tasks that are easily manageable/not overwhelming and ideally take less than 30 minutes to accomplish.If you'd like to learn more about perfect timing and the brain, check out Daniel Pink's book When.Types of Documentary https://blog.nfb.ca/blog/2014/08/04/types-of-documentary-films/Yes, I realize many places list 6 types, but participatory is basically the same as reflexive, and experimental is basically the same as poetic. Keep it simple, know what I mean?Here is a very academic discussion of representation, but I think that Kirsten Johnson's film Cameraperson will help you understand the issue more closely.Questions or comments?

For our 150th episode, we’re going a bit meta and looking at the person behind the camera lens…by looking…through the camera lens. That’s right, we’re diving into a documentary with Kirsten Johnson’s Cameraperson.

To mark the sad passing of the brilliant Agnès Varda, we are revisiting an old episode of the Talkhouse Podcast in which documentary cinematographer and Cameraperson director Kirsten Johnson sat down with the legendary French New Wave auteur when she was in town in 2017 for a gallery exhibit of her art at Blum & Poe and a French Institute film series. In a wonderfully thoughtful and engaged conversation, the two discuss Varda's artwork, how her films play with time, finding permission as an artist, Varda's feelings about New York City, Faces Places, her collaboration with the artist JR, her favorite color (!), and much more.

Kirsten Johnson, director of Cameraperson, talks with SIFFcast about her documentary.

Esta película consta de metraje que la camarógrafa y directora de fotografía estadounidense Kirsten Johnson captó para documentales de diversos directores en los últimos 25 años. Con ese material "ajeno", la ahora realizadora reflexiona desde y sobre sus experiencias, y lo que ellas pueden decir sobre la memoria, la imagen, el horror, el tiempo, su género y varios tópicos más, conciliando la intensidad de la mirada con la fragilidad de lo observado. De eso y más hablamos en el podcast.

Following the a screening on Sunday 26th February, filmmaker Kirsten Johnson and Australian International Documentary Conference CEO, Andrew Wiseman joined ACMI's Head of Film Programs, James Hewison in conversation about her remarkable film. A boxing match in Brooklyn; life in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina; the day of a Nigerian midwife; an intimate family moment: these scenes and others are woven into Cameraperson, a tapestry of footage captured over the 25-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.

Episode 67 - In this episode we jump into a discussion of Cameraperson. It's a very different type of doc thats getting a lot of Oscar buzz and we check it out to see if it is deserving of the praise.

Veteran filmmaker and documentary cinematographer Kirsten Johnson has spent the last 25 years capturing the often-harsh realities of humanity in some of cinemas most influential documentaries with directors such as Michael Moore (Fahrenheit 9/11), Laura Poitra (Citizenfour about Edward Snowden) and Kirby Dick (This Film is Not Yet Rated). Her latest documentary is a very personal exploration of her life behind the camera over her vast career and is on the 2017 Best Documentary Oscar shortlist. Cameraperson is like meditation or fragmented memories, a montage of footage with no voiceover that opens up all the questions Kirsten has asked herself during her career. The film moves between outtakes from documentaries she has shot intercut with private footage of her family including Kirsten’s twins and her mother. Through all of her footage, difficult and beautiful, you feel Kirsten Johnson’s warmth, empathy and her huge laugh fills the space. Host Christina Jeurling Birro has been a longtime follower of Kirsten’s work and was delighted to have the opportunity to speak with her about the ethics and moral choices faced when filming subjects, what is was like for her to relive the joys and the horrors she has seen, the power of the moving image and much more!

Kirsten Johnson is an award-winning New York-based documentary filmmaker and cinematographer who started working on local fiction and documentary film projects in West Africa before graduating from the FEMIS (the French National Film School) in Paris. Asylum, a short documentary she shot in Ghana, was nominated for an Oscar in 2004. Since then, she has shot some of the most powerful documentaries in recent years, including A Place at the Table, the Oscar-nominated The Invisible War and most recently Laura Poitras's Citizenfour, which won Best Documentary at last year's Oscars. Traveling the globe with leading documentary filmmakers for 25 years, the many subjects she has covered range from Bosnian genocide to impoverished Nigerian maternity wards to Edward Snowden. She made her directorial debut with Cameraperson, drawing on footage she has shot over the course of her career and earning her the Sheffield Doc/Fest's Grand Jury Award. Cameraperson is screening in IDFA's special focus program Assembling Reality this year.

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! 1. Cephus Johnson, a.k.a Uncle Bobby, is a social justice activist at the forefront of ending police brutality in America.  He joins us to talk about the Love Not Blood Campaign. 2.

Laura Poitras and Michael Moore are only two of many filmmakers who have turned to the skills of cinematographer Kirsten Johnson. Now Johnson has directed her own film “Cameraperson.” It’s a kind of memoir of her past 25 years shooting documentaries. “It’s unlike anything you’ve seen before,” wrote A.O. Scott in his New York Times […] The post PN 24: Kirsten Johnson on “Cameraperson” appeared first on Pure Nonfiction.

What does it mean to film another person? How does it affect that person - and what does it do to the one who films? 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 captured 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 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. Director and subject Kirsten Johnson stops by to talk about her career, what inspires her, the power of the image and often conflicting realities of documentary filmmaking.

Episode 31 of One Week Only! Our key film this week is "Closet Monster," a coming-of-age drama about a creative teenager who wants to study movie makeup in New York, and escape his small town and his homophobic father. Directed by Stephen Dunn, this imaginative film takes a familiar story and imbues it with fantastical art design, sharp wit & heartfelt emotion. It is now playing in New York, and will be coming to LA, and is released by Strand Releasing. This week's interview is with director Debra Eisenstadt, about her third feature film "Before the Sun Explodes," a comedy/thriller about an over-the-hill comedian who spends one crazy night in West Hollywood with a younger female comedian, with unexpected consequences. Eisenstadt talks about her experiences making micro-budget films, using her acting experience as a director, and the importance of the Slamdance filmmaking community. "Before the Sun Explodes" premiered at the SXSW Film Festival, and is part of September's Slamdance Cinema Club in Los Angeles & Chicago. Other films this week include "Goat," a harrowing look at college Frat hazing, starring Nick Jonas & directed by Andrew Neel; documentary "The Lovers & The Despot" about how Kim Jong-il kidnapped his favorite filmmakers to make films in North Korea, directed by Ross Adam & Robert Cannan; heartbreaking drama "Chronic" starring Tim Roth as a nurse for terminally ill patients, directed by Michel Franco; and "Cameraperson," a documentary memoir by veteran cinematographer Kristen Johnson.

On Assignment's season two premiere is the first episode in a series called, Women We Love. These episodes will feature great conversations with women who are out in the field setting an example for our students with their outstanding reporting. All have a special connection to our Columbia J-School Prizes Department. Our first episode features filmmaker Kirsten Johnson, whose film Cameraperson, was the final screening at the duPont sponsored film series Film Fridays last spring. She has worked as the principal cinematographer on over 40 feature-length documentaries. Some of her credits include award-winning pieces like “The Invisible War,” “Pray the Devil Back to Hell,” “Fahrenheit 9/11” and “Women, War and Peace.” Kirsten has a longstanding collaboration with Oscar-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras and is credited as cinematographer for “The Oath,” “Citizenfour,” and the upcoming "Asylum." Her directorial debut, Cameraperson, is a deeply personal and autobiographical film that Kirsten calls, “an acknowledgement of how complex it is to film and be filmed.” It was an official selection for the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. Cameraperson opens at the IFC Center in New York City on September 9th.

Kirsten Johnson talks about what she's learned from shooting some of the best nonfiction films of the last 25 years while working with directors like Laura Poitras and Michael Moore. We also discuss her new film "Cameraperson," which uses previously unseen footage from those films to create what IndieWire's Eric Kohn called, "A transcendent documentary experience. Truly original. There's never been a memoir quite like this one."

Ryan is joined by David and Keith to chat about the new announcements and rumors surrounding the Collection.

One might not expect much from a film festival right in the dead center of America's Heartland, but for thirteen years, True/False has been changing the way to think about the micro-film festival as well as the form of cinema in major ways. In this dispatch from Columbia, Missouri, Peter sits with critics Sam Adams, Tim Grierson, and (eventually) Scott Tobias to look at how the documentary-oriented festival puts aesthetics into the conversation while remaining politically engaged. While the subjects can be galvanizing—the US prison system, delinquent teenage girls in Tehran, Chinese miners, the fall of Iraq—the films continually break the mold for how one thinks about the format by exploring the relationship between the filmmaker and their subject. Plus, a discussion about Concerned Student 1950, a student-made documentary addressing the issues of the University of Missouri protests in 2015, and what its premiere could mean for the future of the festival. 0:00-2:50 Opening2:50-8:00 Concerned Student 19508:00-49:35 True/False Favorites50:47-54:16 Sponsorship Section55:05-1:19:05 True/False Favorite Scenes1:19:08-1:20:47 Close
