WORLD PREMIERE The intimate relationship that a photographer develops with the people whose photos he’s taking is at the heart of this film. New York-based Martin Schoeller won acclaim for his ultra close-up portraits of figures like George Clooney, Barack Obama, and Taylor Swift, yet here director Josephine Links focuses on his work featuring people who are not in the public eye, including homeless people and death row exonerees. Through testimonies from everyday people he’s interested in capturing, this documentary shows how some of us survive on the margins of society. – Murtada Elfadl
