Documentary about various photographers: anybody seen it?

I just watched it a couple of nights ago. I really liked it and it gave me a lot of ideas for my own photography, so I found it very much worth it. But of course, most of my photography practice is based on street photography and story-telling.

I saw it and liked it. The director was at the showing (with Leica across her chest) and took questions. As I recall, the profiles centered more on documentary photography than on traditional flaneur street photography.

The Impassioned Eye is one of my favorites. A lot less edgy and more re-watchable.

I noticed that "An Americal Journey: In Robert Frank's Footsteps" is now on Netflix, but I haven't watched it yet.

Every street photography becomes documentary after twenty five years it was taken. :)


I think, I remember this film was tossed here by some RFF members, initially. :confused:
And I was turned off, because I'm not into modern mainstream street photography. But I decided to open the link OP gave and it is ... interesting !
 
This month on HBO there is a documentary, 'Jim: The James Foley Story' a free lance journalist who also used photographer/video and was captured in November 20121 and eventually killed in Syria in August 2014. The documentary has many photos and videos taken by Jim.

An older documentary from HBO, 'Which Way Is the Front Line From Here? The Life and Time of Tim Hetherington.' Description: Shortly after the release of his documentary Restrepo, photographer Tim Hetherington was killed in Libya. Colleague and filmmaker Sebastian Junger traces Hetherington's work across the world's battlefields to reveal how he transcended the boundaries of image-making to become a luminary in his profession.
 
Yeah I own it and I think it is terrific.

My favs were Boogie, he has a go pro on his camera in part so you see exactly what he sees when he is shooting and they show his images when he was hanging wit the gangs. Powerful stuff, Davidsons part is very cool as is Jill Freedmans part. Some really good history in there to as well as some amazing photographs.

Cheryl featured one of my images on the site also.
