- DirectorKay WeaverMartha WheelockStarsBerenice AbbottCritics place Berenice Abbott at the head of her class. She was one of the greatest American photographers of the 20th Century. From her portraits of the avant-garde taken in Paris during the 1920's, to her documentation of New York in the 1930's, to her science photography of the 1950s, and her studies of small-town America, Abbott's genius is in the incredible range of her work. Filmed during her 91st and 92nd years, the open-hearted Abbott takes us on a guided tour of her century. The tour teaches history, perseverance, courage, and single-minded dedication to one's chosen field. A brilliant film about a brilliant American artist!

- DirectorPatrick JeudyStarsIngrid BergmanRobert CapaClark GableRobert Capa has been the icon of a whole generation of photo journalists and embodies the very spirit of adventure: a romantic hero, a legendary photographer with a tragic end. Yet, very little exists on the real man on film. The film takes its departure with the photo that "made" Robert Capa: the Spanish Republican mortally wounded in front of his camera. The question of the photo's authenticity is the 'knot' of our story. This shot came to be regarded as Capa's guiding principle of his job: the closer you get to the action, the better the photo and its impact! Despite many contradictions, Capa's legend lives on.
