- DirectorChris SzwedoStarsTom ClarkJudy CollinsRowland SchermanEYE ON THE SIXTIES is an intimate portrait of photographer Rowland Scherman, and the process of photojournalism.

In this unusual documentary, Scherman's candid recollections of the time combine with his famous photographs, offering rare glimpses of celebrities, politicians, and monumental events of the day. His memories and experiences offer a fresh viewpoint on the current state of photojournalism, and of technological change. The film also touched on the inevitable fate of the aging baby boomer, who captures with ease the immortality of others, while remaining mortal himself.

- DirectorJim VirgaIn Beyond Assignment, we see the approaches and personalities of three photographers as they work on longterm projects in their respective countries of Mexico, South Africa and Israel. That they are women should not matter, at the same time it is extremely important. Through these women we learn lessons of how to see, what is important in story telling, and examples of commitment to their subjects. In one case the photographer has become an activist with intrepid spirit, with another we see an empathetic eye trying to make sense of violence plaguing a neighborhood and how people deal with it, and with the third we see how religion manifests itself in peoples' lives.

Few journalists have come as close to the wars in Afghanistan as Reza, whose photos are a chronicle more than two decades of fighting.
