☆ Bruce Davidson Digs Deep and Finds Gems He Had Overlooked

Breathtakingly fast and painstakingly slow: Before the introduction of the digital camera, a photographer worked in those parallel time frames. The click of the shutter was instantaneous, but then the film had to be developed, the contact sheets or color slides reviewed, and the selections made for printing. Pressed for time, a working photographer typically made these decisions hurriedly. Bruce Davidson, who turns 90 next month, has been reviewing his archive for the last eight years. What makes him remarkable is the empathy that won over his subjects and the devoted persistence of his investigations.

Many are by Swiss artists, including the Giacomettis, father and son. When I visited, one floor featured a large, temporary exhibition of more than 100 paintings by the Swiss painter Gustav Buchet, an important figure in the avant-garde movements in early-20th-century Switzerland. The building was designed by the Portuguese architects Francisco and Manuel Aires Mateus and opened in June 2022, along with the plaza. Many photos reminded how trains can represent escape and adventure, but also a Hail Mary for the desperate. Black-and-white shots of war refugees piling onto trains, taken 70 years ago, felt like they could have been taken last month.

☆ A Mystery Hidden in a Family Photograph

Now I wondered if I could use these same skills to find my great-grandfather’s house. The inscription contained a familiar name: “Henri Cartier-Bresson” — a giant of 20th century photojournalism. Henri Cartier-Bresson visited Scanno in the early 1950s, as part of a wave of journalists looking to document World War II’s effects on Europe’s impoverished regions. Henri Cartier-Bresson had taken that photograph from the very spot where Donato was born. Fernando Scianna Mario Giacomelli Henri Cartier-Bresson And it’s easy to see that the work still inspires pilgrimages to the steps.

☆ „Filmul meu nu a fost o răzbunare, ci o necesitate de a înțelege procese complexe din familie”. Interviu cu regizoarea Olga Lucovnicova, câștigătoarea premiului „Ursul de Aur” la Berlin

Regizoarea a povestit, pentru ZdG, despre premiere, munca la acest film, reacția rudelor și a presei, dar și despre planurile pentru viitor. De aceea, odată ce filmul a fost gata, am vrut să aplic anume la Berlinale, deși unii profesori mă descurajau. Discuția noastră a durat 2 ore și a devenit baza sonoră a filmului, de aceea titlul filmului este „Nanu Tudor”. Filmul nu a fost o răzbunare, ci o necesitate de a înțelege procesele complexe din familie. Acest tip de terapie neconvențională a fost și este utilizat pentru rezolvarea și conștientizarea conflictelor interioare.
