SUMMARY:Hansel Mieth: Vagabond Photographer – Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join the Greenwich Historical Society and filmmaker Nancy Schiesari for a film screening followed by a moderated question and answer session with Schiesari.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Hansel Mieth: Vagabond Photographer (2003\, 60 mins)\, filmmaker Nancy Schiesari presents the compelling tale of a pioneering woman photojournalist who created some of the most indelible images of America mid-20th century. A German immigrant who arrived in this country in the midst of the Great Depression\, she rose to become a celebrated LIFE magazine staff photographer. Armed with convictions\, perseverance\, and talent\, Mieth courageously carved out a career in the male-dominated world of photojournalism at a time when very few women were accepted in the profession.\n\nFilmmaker Nancy Schiesari reveals Mieth's extraordinary life experiences by intercutting taped interviews and voice-over narration with poetic imagery\, both through archival flashback (selected for artistic merit as much as for historical context) and through Mieth's photographs. The result is a richly woven documentary that places Hansel Mieth as a significant contributor to the cultural context of her time.
