Tim Hetherington was a photographer, filmmaker, journalist, human rights activist, artist, and ICP faculty member, who saw no boundaries between the mediums he worked in, the outlets he sought to publish in, and the content he created. He was a visionary who used photos, video, memoir, and testimony to explain and humanize conflicts as well as to simply illuminate the human condition.
This program includes a screening of the short film Diary followed by a panel discussion. In Diary, a highly personal and experimental film that expressed the subjective experience of his work, Tim turns the camera inward after more than a decade reporting.
A panel of friends and collaborators, including Carroll Bogert (Human Rights Watch), James Brabazon (Liberia: An Uncivil War), Michael Kamber (Photojournalist, The New York Times) and Jamie Wellford (International Photo Editor, Newsweek) will discuss his work and legacy.
