"This compilation of prints made in 1925 and 1926 highlights the strengths of the process with scenes of sumptuous clothing and fabrics, life-like shots of fruit, advertising setups, and abstract kaleidoscopic views. Prominently featured are shots of actress/model Hope Hampton, showcasing the latest French fashions from designers including the House of Worth, Lanvin, and Jean Magnin. These scenes were originally featured in the 1926 shorts Parisian Modes in Colour and Colorful Fashions from Paris, both of which were photographed in Kodak’s color film studio at the Eastman School of Dance and distributed across the US by Educational Pictures as part of the McCall’s Color Fashion News series." — James Layton

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.

A tribute to Chadwick Boseman, celebrating his life and legacy.
