ARTE Filmmatinee: Das Jahrhundert des Henri Cartier-Bresson
In the organizer's words:
Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) shaped the 20th century like almost no other photographer. His life story is inextricably linked to the great historical events of his time: the coronation of King George VI of England, the Spanish Civil War, the liberation of Paris in 1944, the birth of the People's Republic of China, the Soviet Union after the death of Josef Stalin and the May 1968 revolt in France. Always in black and white and always on the scale of the 35mm negative, he portrayed great personalities such as Mahatma Gandhi, Coco Chanel, Harry S. Truman, Georges Braque and the Joliot-Curie couple.
Three documentaries are dedicated to the great photographer as part of the ARTE Film Matinee: The Century of Henri Cartier-Bresson (2014, 52 minutes), Contact Prints (1994, 12 minutes) and the short film Writing Against Forgetting (1991, 3 minutes), which was commissioned by UNESCO.
