The Magnum Story I: Decisive Moments screening with El Otro Lado
Series: Magnum in Motion: Photographers and the Moving Image [May 30 – Jun 4 2007]
Runtime: 75

The Magnum Story I: Decisive Moments
Patricia Wheatley and Rosemary Bowen-Jones, UK, 1989; 64m
screening with
El Otro Lado
Alex Webb, US, 1992; 11m

Part one focuses on Magnum’s four founders—Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David “Chim” Seymour—from their work in the 1930s and the war to the early years of the agency. A time in which photojournalism was having a greater impact on the public than ever before, the late ‘40s and ‘50s saw the agency defining its mission while expanding to include many emerging talents; Part one traces the agency’s growing pains, as it struggled to establish itself critically and financially in a highly competitive market.

El Otro Lado is a deeply moving look at immigrants attempting to cross the border into the U.S. illegally.
