Prêmios

Tied with John Gilbert for Até o Último Homem (2016).

"In her film CAMERAPERSON Kirsten Johnson lets the audience experience how beautiful and vivid and, at the same time, unbearably oppressive and ambivalent camerawork for documentary film can be. Her film embarks upon an intelligent and personal essay-like discourse about the various facets of and the tensions within the relationship between the person behind the camera and the world in front of the camera. In the process, her images and scenes achieve great intimacy and poetry. Her core interest is in reporting where the images originate from - with all the adversity, ambivalences and documentary gifts that are generally invisible to the viewer."

Jury statement: "We honor Cameraperson for its compassion and curiosity; for its almost tangible connection to subjects and humble acknowledgment of its own subjectivity; for its singular enfolding of memoir, essay and collage; for its perfect expression of the vital collaboration between director and editor; and for its disarming invitation for us to participate in the meaning and construction of the work, and by extension the meaning and construction of documentary cinema itself."
