Traces of a Diary

Marco Martins and André Príncipe, 2 well-known Portuguese filmmakers, document, in a very simple way, the relationship that 7 world-renowned Japanese photographers have with their art.

It stands out for its cinematography, very peculiar, raw, in a fantastic black and white, in a 16mm K3 that is an authentic dream.

The narrative is based on the practices of the photographers involved, and the relevance of photography in a diary record, very used by japanese photographers.

For those who are not familiar with them it is a great way to get to know their styles and ways of photographing, although the screen time given to each one is not enough to understand all the concepts and opinions on the matter.

I never get tired of seeing / reviewing this film, due to the poetic and honest way in which Photography is described.
