An autobiography of sorts, Cameraperson demands we think beyond Johnson's own extraordinary career and reflect upon our own status as observers, and the ethical and emotional responsibilities that come with it.

Cameraperson is at its best when it captures instances of unexpected life.

A life behind the lens is examined in "Cameraperson," a fascinating, purposely disjointed documentary from director Kirsten Johnson.

A singular achievement in the autobiographical documentary space. Engrossing and unexpectedly accessible, a multi-layered engagement with the medium and its relationship to truth, both personal and communal.
