About

Renowned French photojournalist Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908–2004) made six documentary films throughout his working life, five of which are presented in this program. Interested in the power of film early in his career, Cartier-Bresson studied documentary filmmaking in New York, later apprenticing to the acclaimed French director Jean Renoir. Cartier-Bresson's films explore similar themes to his photography, including an interest in political struggles as well as his fascination with people and culture.

This program screens in conjunction with 'Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Man, The Image & The World' from 27 August – 27 November 2011 at the Queensland Art Gallery.
