“Dalia Friedland in her final performance struggles with the remnants of her fading memory, oscillating between the stage and the starkness of reality, where she takes on the leading role.”
Dalia Friedland has lived and breathed theater since the day she was born. Her parents founded the Jewish Habima Theater and since then life has been a stage for her: Dozens of plays, films, and children's tapes that shaped generations of Israelis. Over the years, Dalia has faced a turbulent personal life that was always kept behind-the-scenes, added to the fascinating life of an actress who never gave up the stage. But with the onset of memory loss, an irreversible journey begins. Now, she cherishes her final memories before the curtain falls for the last time.

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.
