I am very happy to hear for "War photographer", but no chance to see it. I was the interpretter of Christian Frei in Kosova, and still trying to find a contact with him. The firs time when I found out about that the "War Photographer" was just a few weeks ago when Jim emailed me and said that I was allso on it "In the scene of the vilage".
Hoping to get in contact with Cristian and Peter.
Best Regardes.
Ferdi Limani.

I have just one complain.
This documentary is not available for sale on DVD and a VHS copy costs more than $400. It's a shame that a quality product like this is so expensive. If this situation changes please let me know. I'm a big fan of Nachtwey's work and i was thrilled when i knew about this documentary but, unfortunatly, with this price, it's out of my reach.
Best Regards,
Luis

A truly moving film - not on the sensational side, but very much on the human side. It's the way, every photographer should do his work, looking at the interior of a human being, not merely on outward expressions.

I have just seen the documentary War Photographer. It is without doubt one of the best pieces of 'film' I have seen in some time.
It should be a prerequiste for every photographer beginner or professional to watch.
It should be put out on public the world over for everyone to see. To see, what man can do to fellow man for the sake of power, greed and religion.
I too am a documentary photographer. I came into this area from the world of advertising and design so, when the section was shown in the Stern offices I related to both worlds. The need to get great looking spreads and the passion of the photographer who took the shots.
I have seen what man can do to each other at first hand, counted the dead, smelled death and felt the sorrow and people should be made aware of what is going on, on their doorsteps.
It's our duty to peel away the eyelids of society so it can see and this film and this photographer did this.
It's because of people like James and those who went before, McCullin, Jones Griffith, Larry Burrows, Robert Capa, the Turnley brothers the list is endless, I decided to switch careers and move into what I guess was always my passion, documentary photography.
Hopefully we all might make difference eventually.
Regards,
Steve Hathaway

Cogratulations!!! Your documentary was deeply moving and inspiring. During 11/11 I experienced in NY the manipulation of mass media working as a Photorapher. Yor film brings us a big step closer to the trough. Thank you!

War photographer is one of those rare cases where one can genuinely say: "This is a very important film".
In one part of the film James Nachtwey says that, unlike his audience, he can't turn over the page to a Rolex advert if what he sees becomes to unpleasant. The importance of this film is that it frees the imagery it's depicting from its usual format - fast-edited reports, interspersed by stock-tickers and commercials - and places it within a meditative ambiance that forces the audience to confront the issues, without having the issues confront the audience.
What's more, this is not a film about war, poverty and injustice. It is a film about a visibly genuine person reporting about war, poverty and injustice. And it is a genuine film about this person. This quasi protects the film from running the risk of being exploitative, and it is this level of integrity that allows one to say that this is a truly important film.

Congratulations on a excellently constructed and technically accomplished documentary.I was amazed by the photographers invisibleness to his subjects.
The only question I have of the photographer is : Are the depicted violations of human beings a product of evil or merely circumstance?

I saw your amazing documentary by pure chance while I was in Basel for the week-end, exactly like I saw Mr Nachtwey show in Rome last summer on my way to the Balkans. I hope your film get widely distributed so my friends in France and Canada get to see it. Congradulation and thank your for opening our eyes.

I just watched your documentary on James Nachtwey and I thought it was absolutely terrific. The idea of that micro-cam attached to his camera was fantastic and made all the difference. I thought the filming, the editing, even the music were magnificent, and the documentary was compelling, provocative and first rate. Most importantly, I want to thank you for doing something so good about a profession we love so much and believe in so mightily. Well done, it deserves to be widely seen.

"War Photographer" was not only the best film I saw in Amsterdam, but the best film I've seen in a long time. (And I see a lot of documentary films!). It has the right approach, balance, and asks all the right questions, I think, while telling a powerful and thought provoking story.

I watched 'War Photographer' and thought it was one of the best films I saw at the IDFA. Remarkably solid in its storytelling, compelling sequences, and an amazing central character. I felt it was excellent throughout and really impressive.
