"Magnum in Motion" in Berlijn
The special Berlinale series Magnum in Motion: guests and programme
Several well-known Magnum photographers will be present when the Berlinale screens 33 films by and about the agency's great photo reporters during this year's special series Magnum in Motion. The programme will include documentaries, portraits and short films from around the globe. With Magnum in Motion, the Berlin International Film Festival is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the legendary agency and photographers' cooperative.
"Characteristic for the works of Magnum is their critical take on the great events of our times", says Berlinale director Dieter Kosslick. "Yet the stylistic devices and idioms of the photographers vary greatly and are extremely personal."
The following photographers and filmmakers are expected to attend: René Burri, Raymond Depardon, Elliott Erwitt, Martine Franck, Jean Gaumy, Bruce Gilden, Philip Jones Griffiths, Thomas Hoepker, David Hurn, Susan Meiselas, Chris Steele-Perkins, Dennis Stock and Donovan Wylie as well as Stuart Franklin, President of Magnum Photos. After the screenings they will comment on their works and answer questions from the audience.
The film series will be accompanied by a booklet which will be published in English. In addition to filmographic information, it will include an essay by photo historian Gerry Badger, and a special DVD with five topical photo essays by Jonas Bendiksen, Elliott Erwitt, Paul Fusco Alec Soth and a group project. After premiering at the Berlinale, Magnum in Motion will go on tour. To start with the series will be shown at film festivals in Guadalajara, New York and Thessaloniki.
The Berlin gallery Camera Work will also be presenting the exhibition Magnum Photos@Camera Work, Berlin 1946 - 2006 from February 9 - 24, 2007. On display will be some 50 photos of Berlin, all taken by Magnum photographers.
Parallel to the Magnum in Motion special programme, the Fondation Cartier will show works by Magnum photographer Raymond Depardon at the Museum für Fotografie in Berlin.
