Sabine Weiss: A Life in a Century

She captured thousands of faces — smiles, gestures, attitudes. She immortalized a working-class Paris that has now vanished. She photographed the collections of the greatest fashion designers for Vogue and other prestigious magazines. She also travelled the world, always in search of emotion. Throughout the second half of the twentieth century, her lens lingered on those living at the margins — people society prefers not to see: beggars, the elderly, Roma communities… The result is a monumental, eclectic, and profoundly human body of work.

Sabine Weiss was the last representative of France's postwar humanist photography movement. Having only just passed away, this film pays tribute to her and retraces the journey of an extraordinary woman whose major body of work embodies a century of humanism.
