SCREENINGS

The documentary portrays one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century, Peter Lindbergh, who suddenly died at the beginning of September this year.

In the film, his sisters, friends, wives and collaborators get to speak, who tell about the life and extraordinary creations of the famous photographer, trying to find the key to the eternal question: what makes some people an artist? And where did all this creative power come from, which is almost impossible to analyze rationally?

The film features top models, actresses and fashion icons, whose importance Lindbergh enhanced with his camera for nearly forty years, as well as background players, who all together shed light on Peter Lindbergh's life and artistic development.

Photographer Katrin Press will make an introduction to the film screenings.
