As a visually radical memoir, CAMERAPERSON draws on the remarkable footage that filmmaker Kirsten Johnson has shot and reframes it in ways that illuminate moments and situations that have personally affected her. What emerges is an elegant meditation on the relationship between truth and the camera frame, as Johnson transforms scenes that have been presented on Festival screens as one kind of truth into another kind of story—one about personal journey, craft, and direct human connection.
Cameraperson is a Documentary film released in 2016.
2 subtitle releases available in English. 1 release includes Hearing Impaired (HI) subtitles.

- (applauding)
- Thank you, guys.
292
00:38:55,167 --> 00:38:56,794
- Thank you. Thank you.
- That was great.
293
00:39:00,506 --> 00:39:04,844
WOMAN: Disconnected. Gave me dial tone.
Completely disconnected.
294
00:39:04,927 --> 00:39:07,221
I can hear you.
295
00:39:07,805 --> 00:39:10,307
(speaking Arabic language)
296
00:39:18,149 --> 00:39:20,443
Well, we were not actually
inside the court,
297
00:39:20,526 --> 00:39:23,446
but we were able to watch
what was happening inside
298
00:39:23,529 --> 00:39:28,117
through CCTV screens that were put up
inside the media filing center,
299
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,747
where we are all working from,
all the journalists covering this trial.
300
00:39:32,830 --> 00:39:35,708
So, um, we could hear... (fades)
301
00:39:37,460 --> 00:39:39,920
K.J.:
302
00:39:42,256 --> 00:39:44,216
MAN:
303
00:39:53,184 --> 00:39:55,311
- MAN #2: You all right, Kirsten?
- K.J.: I'm havin' a ball.
304
00:39:55,394 --> 00:39:56,395
(laughter)
305
00:39:57,521 --> 00:39:59,356
WOMAN:
306
00:40:02,485 --> 00:40:04,028
K.J.: Okay.
307
00:40:07,782 --> 00:40:10,242
K.J.:
308
00:40:23,089 --> 00:40:24,882
MAN:
309
00:40:36,435 --> 00:40:38,062
MAN: Left! Left! Left, right, left!
310
00:40:38,145 --> 00:40:41,148
MEN: Left! Left! Left, right, left!
311
00:40:41,232 --> 00:40:43,692
MAN (chanting): Back in 1775!
312
00:40:43,776 --> 00:40:46,570
Back in 1775!
313
00:40:46,654 --> 00:40:49,198
My marine corps came alive!
314
00:40:49,281 --> 00:40:52,368
My marine corps came alive!
315
00:40:52,451 --> 00:40:54,954
(chanting continues)
316
00:40:55,037 --> 00:40:58,791
It's hard to talk when you're running.
I don't know if you've ever tried that.
317
00:40:58,874 --> 00:41:02,503
You know what I'm saying?
Is that okay? Is this really, or should I ‒
318
00:41:02,586 --> 00:41:05,256
K.J.: A little bit here more
so his eyeline stays a little bit ‒
319
00:41:05,339 --> 00:41:06,966
There you go. Great.
320
00:41:07,049 --> 00:41:08,926
The military gave us ‒
321
00:41:09,009 --> 00:41:11,804
They gave us what's called a media card.
322
00:41:11,887 --> 00:41:13,973
It's a card that tells you pretty much
323
00:41:14,056 --> 00:41:17,059
what you can and cannot say to the media.
324
00:41:17,143 --> 00:41:19,562
It says that you can't say anything bad
about the military.
325
00:41:19,645 --> 00:41:23,858
Don't point your opinions on ‒
on the political side of it
326
00:41:23,941 --> 00:41:26,819
and definitely don't give up
any classified information
327
00:41:26,902 --> 00:41:28,529
or talk about your operations.
328
00:41:28,612 --> 00:41:32,533
Just tell 'em like, "Hi, I'm all right."
That's pretty much it.
329
00:41:32,616 --> 00:41:35,911
You really ‒ You really can't
say anything outside of that.
330
00:41:35,995 --> 00:41:38,914
Are you expected to be called back?
331
00:41:38,998 --> 00:41:41,250
I believe so.
332
00:41:41,333 --> 00:41:46,380
Our commanding officer has said
it's not about "if" as "when."
333
00:41:46,463 --> 00:41:48,883
Mm-hmm. And are you gonna go back?
334
00:41:48,966 --> 00:41:50,342
No.
335
00:41:50,426 --> 00:41:52,094
- You're not?
- No.
336
00:41:52,178 --> 00:41:54,805
What repercussions do you face
if you don't?
337
00:41:54,889 --> 00:41:58,767
It's possible jail time.
That's one possible thing.
338
00:41:58,851 --> 00:42:01,770
- Are you willing to risk that?
- Yes.
339
00:42:01,854 --> 00:42:06,859
Yes, I will not let my person ‒
340
00:42:08,694 --> 00:42:15,534
I will not let anyone send me back over there
to kill other poor people.
341
00:42:15,618 --> 00:42:20,831
Especially when they pose no threat
to me and my country.
342
00:42:23,417 --> 00:42:25,252
I'd hate to see you get into any trouble,
you know.
343
00:42:25,336 --> 00:42:27,171
Oh, yeah, man. Me too. (chuckles)
344
00:42:27,254 --> 00:42:29,548
- I don't want to see yo
