Raymond Depardon: Humanity in Focus
February 20 - March 4
Having begun his singular career as a photojournalist, Raymond Depardon trains his focus on the press agency he founded in this thought-provoking work on the mutually parasitic relationship between photographer and subject. Preceded by New York, NY.
Having begun his singular career as a photojournalist, documentary filmmaker Raymond Depardon trained his focus on the press agency he founded in this thought-provoking work on the mutually parasitic (and frequently unrewarding) relationship between photographer and subject. Harnessing the visual language of direct cinema to depict and dissect this socially knotty relation, Reporters deconstructs the mythology of such prominent personalities as Jacques Chirac, Princess Caroline of Monaco, and Jean-Luc Godard being ambushed by paparazzi to conjure an incisive point of view on French society. It ranks among the great Depardon’s most profound and self-reflexive films. An NYFF62 Revivals selection. Restored with the support of the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée (CNC).

Depardon captures the New York landscape, the hustle and bustle of the day, and the razzle-dazzle of the night, as only he can.
