Through a series ofepisodic juxtapositions, Johnson explores the relationships between image makers and their subjects,the tension between the objectivity and intervention of the camera, and the complex interactionof unfiltered reality and crafted narrative. A work that combines documentary, autobiography, andethical inquiry, CAMERAPERSON is both a moving glimpse into one filmmaker’s personal journey and athoughtful examination of what it means to train a camera on the world.OPENS OCTOBER 21EURAT MFE FILCOME PA RUM PA PUM PUMIN DOWNTOWN EVANSTON!CAMERAPERSONEURAT MFE FILOPENS OCTOBER 21OpeningNightDirectorTi West inperson!IN A VALLEY OF VIOLENCEDIRECTED BY: Ti WestSTARRING: Ethan Hawke, John Travolta, Karen Gillan104 minutes““A double-barreled blast!”–We Got This CoveredEntertaining blend of thrills,laughs and Western essentials”–ColliderA mysterious drifter named Paul and his dog Abbie make their waytoward Mexico through the barren desert of the old West.
