SCREENING IN THE BERNARD OSHER FOUNDATION AUDITORIUM
“Some of his Salgado’s depictions of human suffering are not for the faint-hearted but, like this fine film, demand to be seen. Unmissable.”
110 minutes. Rated PG-13. Directed by Wim Wenders and Juliano Ribeiro Salgado.
For the last 40 years, the photographer Sebastião Salgado has been travelling through the continents, in the footsteps of an ever-changing humanity. He has witnessed some of the major events of our recent history; international conflicts, starvation and exodus. He is now embarking on the discovery of pristine territories, of wild fauna and flora, and of grandiose landscapes as part of a huge photographic project, which is a tribute to the planet's beauty.
Sebastião Salgado's life and work are revealed to us by his son, Juliano, who went with him during his last travels, and by Wim Wenders, himself a photographer.
