The B-Side: Elsa Dorfman's Portrait Photography screening, Panel Discussion, Jenn Libby, Gerry Szymanski, Michelle Macirella
2017-Jul-18 @ 19:00 - 20:16
The Little will screen The B-Side: Elsa Dorfman's Portrait Photography (Errol Morris, U.S. 2016, 76 min.) followed by a Panel Discussion with Jenn Libby, Gerry Szymanski, and Michelle Macirella as part of the One Take Documentary Series.
Portrait photographer Elsa Dorfman found her medium in 1980: the larger-than-life Polaroid Land 20×24 camera. For the next thirty-five years she captured the "surfaces" of those who visited her Cambridge, Massachusetts studio: families, Beat poets, rock stars, and Harvard notables. As pictures begin to fade and her retirement looms, Dorfman gives Errol Morris an inside tour of her backyard archive.
