    This is a brilliant and informative documentary film which provides an insight into Dine's artistic process. The direction has not allowed intrusion into the process and Nancy Dines was, rightly, nominated for an Oscar for her work.

Cameraperson

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.
