War Photographer | Фотограф войны


русские субтитры

Когда кто-то берет на себя риск идти в центр военных действий, чтобы показать другим странам, что там происходит, тогда он пытается вести переговоры о мире.Поэтому, наверное, разжигатели войны не любят фотографов.

На фронте все воспринимается крайне непосредственно.Вы видите не фотографию на странице журнала,в десяти тысячах миль от тебя, рядом с рекламой часов Rolex. Вы видите страшную боль, несправедливость и нищету.Если бы каждый мог увидеть собственными глазами, хотя бы один раз, что делает белый фосфор с лицом ребенка,какую нестерпимую боль приносит одна пуля, или как осколок снаряда вырывает ногу...

Если бы все мы могли пережить этот страх хотя бы один раз, мы бы поняли, что ничто не может оправдать причинения таких страданий даже одному человеку, а тем более тысячам.

Но все не могут там быть. Поэтому туда идут фотографы.

Quote

"Every minute I was there, I wanted to flee.
I did not want to see this.
Would I cut and run, or would I deal with
the responsibility of being there with a camera"

(James Nachtwey)

Short Synopsis

In one of the world's countless crisis
areas, surrounded by suffering, death,
violence and chaos, photographer
James Nachtwey searches for the picture
he thinks he can publish.

A film about a committed, shy man, who
is considered one of the bravest and
most important war photographers of our
time - but hardly fits the cliche of the
hard-boiled war veteran.

Synopsis

A film about the American photographer James Nachtwey, about his motivation, his fears and his daily routine as a war photographer. If we believe Hollywood pictures, war photographers are all hard-boiled and cynical old troopers. How can they think about 'exposure time' in the very moment of dread?

Swiss author, director and producer Christian Frei followed James Nachtwey for two years into the wars in Indonesia, Kosovo, Palestine... Christian Frei used special micro-cameras attached to James Nachtwey's photo-camera.

We see a famous photographer looking for the decisive moment. We hear every breath of the photographer. For the first time in the history of movies about photographers, this technique allowed an authentic insight into the work of a concerned photo-journalist.

James Nachtwey Biography:

A B O U T J A M E S N A C H T W E Y | Biography

American, born 1948

James Nachtwey grew up in Massachusetts and graduated from Dartmouth College, where he studied Art History and Political Science (1966-70). Images from the Vietnam War and the American Civil Rights movement had a powerful effect on him and were instrumental in his decision to become a photographer. He has worked aboard ships in the Merchant Marine, and while teaching himself photography, he was an apprentice news film editor and a truck driver. In 1976 he started work as a newspaper photographer in New Mexico, and in 1980, he moved to New York to begin a career as a freelance magazine photographer. His first foreign assignment was to cover civil strife in Northern Ireland in 1981 during the IRA hunger strike.

Since then, Nachtwey has devoted himself to documenting wars, conflicts and critical social issues. He has worked on extensive photographic essays in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Rwanda, South Africa, Russia, Bosnia, Chechnya, Kosovo, Romania, Brazil and the United States.

Nachtwey has been a contract photographer with Time Magazine since 1984. He was associated with Black Star from 1980 - 1985 and was a member of Magnum from 1986 until 2001. He has had solo exhibitions at the International Center of Photography in New York, the Palazzo Esposizione in Rome, El Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, the Carolinum in Prague, the Hasselblad Center in Sweden, the Canon Gallery and the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam, and the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College, among others.

He has received numerous honours such as the Robert Capa Gold Medal (five times), the World Press Photo Award twice, Magazine Photographer of the Year (six times), the International Center of Photography Infinity Award three times, the Leica Award twice, the Bayeaux Award for War Correspondents (twice), the Alfred Eisenstaedt Award, the Canon Photo essayist Award and the W. Eugene Smith Memorial Grant in Humanistic Photography. He is a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and has an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from the Massachusetts College of Arts.
