Shards (1988) | Slate

Shards

Poster

Shards

Lightly processed field recordings fuse disparate strips of saturated 16mm film into an observational diary. The silhouette of a lizard crawling, a sugarcane harvest, American Indian gatherings, a fatherly barbecue and other outdoor scenes draw unexpected corollaries, limning film's possibilities as a momentary medium not bound to a monolithic narrative.

Rated 6.7 on TMDB

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.

Burma VJ: Reporting from a Closed Country

Rated 7.3 on TMDB

Going beyond the occasional news clip from Burma, the acclaimed filmmaker, Anders Østergaard, brings us close to the video journalists who deliver the footage.
