Moi-même is an experimental narrative film shot from 1968–1969 by Lee Breuer and future members of the theater company Mabou Mines. The film captures the journey of a 12-year-old boy attempting to create a film collective amid the backdrop of the May, 1968 protests in Paris. After decades of abandonment, the filmmaker’s son has revitalized the original footage through editing, the addition of a new script, and a complete soundtrack, honoring the original collaborators' spirit while adding fresh perspectives and acknowledging the passage of 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.

An aspiring young filmmaker gets involved with an eccentric gangster for the financing of his first film.
