Video Diaries: Dying for Publicity
Chris Steele-Perkins, UK, 1993; 70m

Author of the highly regarded photo book Vietnam Inc., Philip Jones Griffiths has made Southeast Asia one of his particular specialties, becoming familiar with the histories and cultures of the region through over three decades of travel. Director Richard Traylor-Smith accompanies him on a trip to Cambodia, during which Jones Griffiths talks not only about his experiences in the area but also of his approach to photojournalism.

In his work as a photographer, Chris Steele-Perkins has been to some of the world’s most troubled spots, recording at times scenes of almost unimaginable suffering. In Video Diaries: Dying for Publicity, Steele-Perkins has the chance to reflect on his role as witness—what he looks for, why he looks for it, and what role he might or should play in the lives of his subjects. A poignant meditation on creating art that hopes to make a difference.
