Die Fotografin

In the organizer's words:

THE PHOTOGRAPHER is the true story of Lee Miller, a woman who was way ahead of her time. Courageous and determined, she made decisions on her own terms. A former model and muse to avant-garde photographer Man Ray, Lee Miller eventually tired of being the subject of her male colleagues' photographs and focused on her own work as a photographer. As the war approaches, almost everything changes for her overnight: shortly before the Blitz, Lee Miller follows the love of her life, art dealer Roland Penrose (Alexander Skarsgård), to his hometown of London, where she finally gets a job as a photographer for British Vogue. Frustrated by the restrictions she faces as a female photographer, and tired of being told that women should "do their duty" while men define what that means, Miller urges the editor-in-chief of British Vogue, Audrey Withers (Andrea Riseborough), to request permission for her to go to the front as a photographer. However, Miller is turned down because of her gender. When she gets nowhere in the British system, Miller finally receives war accreditation from the USA and sets off for Europe. Alone.
