Cameraperson

Documentary cinematographer Kirsten Johnson (Citizenfour, Fahrenheit 9/11) has spent decades traveling the world, amassing a treasure trove of footage that she has assembled into an insightful, visually bold memoir about the power of images.
Whether she's shooting undercover footage on the front lines of the War on Terror, or chasing down French philosopher Jacques Derrida on the streets of Manhattan, Johnson's cinematic encounters are endlessly engrossing. They anchor a thought-provoking meditation on the relationship between the woman behind the camera and the culture-defining people and places that fill her frame.
