Life, As It Happens
Anders Petersen, the Swedish legend of post-war European Photography, Elinor Carucci, an award-winner Israeli/American photographer, Jessica Backhaus, one of the most distinguished voices in contemporary photography in Germany, and Natasha Caruana, a rising star in the UK's art scene, opened their doors to us and talked about their ambitions, their doubts, their creative process and how they found their voices.

The film is slated to be distributed to nationwide PBS channels in 2024 and selected to be part of IDFA's 2023/24 Doc for Sale catalog.
