Textures of Conflict Film Program
Experience the world of conflict photography with this powerful documentary lineup.
Overview
Step into some of the most dangerous places on earth. Screening at ACMI as part of this year's Melbourne Writers Festival, Textures of Conflict is a program of five documentaries that showcase the power of the still image, as captured by photojournalists in conflict zones around the world.
The films will screen at the Fed Square cinema throughout the week beginning Monday, August 24. Shooting Robert King chronicles the photographer of the same name, as he journeys from Bosnia to Chechnya and Iraq. Likewise, McCullin follows legendary English photographer Don McCullin, while the simply titled War Photographer concerns the exploits of American James Nachtwey.
Under Fire: Journalists in Combat takes a broader view of war zone journalists, whose job has never been more dangerous than it is today. Rounding out the program is Wim Wenders' recent Oscar-nominated doco Salt of the Earth, about photographer Sebastiao Salgado, who has recently turned his lens from human conflict to the environment.
