A film about the filming mechanism of the camera. Because of a rotary shutter that is not synchronised with the film advance, the film strip was exposed at different moments while it was being transported, rather than while standing still, resulting in blurred pictures. In this way, Dieter Meier films a self-portrait in the surroundings of a workshop, and also plays with blacked-out interludes, double exposures and lighting variations

Cameramen and women discuss the craft and art of cinematography and of the "DP" (the director of photography), illustrating their points with clips from 100 films, from Birth of a Nation to Do the Right Thing. Themes: the DP tells people where to look; changes in movies (the arrival of sound, color, and wide screens) required creative responses from DPs; and, these artisans constantly invent new equipment and try new things, with wonderful results. The narration takes us through the identifiable studio styles of the 30s, the emergence of noir, the New York look, and the impact of Europeans. Citizen Kane, The Conformist, and Gordon Willis get special attention.
