Cinema Through the Eyes of Magnum

By

Sophie Bassaler

Rediscover cinema through a new lens: look at some of the most recognizable images from the greatest photographers of all time, including:

ROBERT CAPA – EVE ARNOLD – DENNIS STOCK – HENRI CARTIN-BRESSON

The most iconic stars as never seen them before, such as:

MARYLIN MONROE – JAMES DEAN – INGRID BERGMAN – KATE WINSLET – SEAN PENN


The film tells the story of the intimate and unprecedented encounter between the photojournalists of the Magnum Photos Agency and the world of cinema. The confrontation of two seemingly opposite worlds – fiction and reality.

For 70 years their paths crossed: a family of photographers, amongst them the biggest names in photography, and a family of actors and filmmakers who helped write the history of cinema, from John Huston to Marilyn Monroe to Orson Welles, Kate Winslet and Sean Penn.
