Camera Buff
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Krzysztof Kieślowski
1979 / 112min / DCP
The film that first established Kieslowski’s reputation outside of his native Poland, Camera Buff begins with factory worker and young father Filip (the prodigiously gifted Jerzy Stuhr) bringing home an 8mm movie camera with no higher ambition than that of recording his daughter’s first steps… but in short time, Filip has developed into a prize-winning amateur filmmaker, and his newfound passion is undermining his relationship with his wife and nettling his superiors. A deeply personal work that ruminates on the knotty relationship between the real world and its filmed double, and the difficulty of maintaining an integrity of vision when there are forces of authority demanding final cut.
