"Success is freedom to do what you feel like doing at the moment." Cargo has debuted an official trailer for a photography documentary titled Elliott Erwitt: Silence Sounds Good, marking the directorial debut of filmmaker Adriana Lopez Sanfeliu. The 62-minute medium length film is a documentary about legendary Magnum photographer Elliott Erwitt, who is now 91 years old and still shooting. "Charming and engaging, with a youthful curiosity well into his 80s, Elliott Erwitt has always let his photos speak for themselves. His images of presidents, popes, celebrities and everyday folks span over six decades and multiple countries. Narrated by his assistant, this film takes us inside his extensive photo archives and along with Elliott as he travels to Cuba to take photos for his newest book and exhibition." I always enjoy good docu films about photographers, there seem to be more and more every year. This one debuts in "virtual cinemas" very soon.

Belgian writer-director Caroline Strubbe is less interested in narrative architecture than she is in collecting behavioral detail. Her debut feature, 2009's Lost Persons Area (which takes its title from Elliott Erwitt's 1963 photograph), devotes entire scenes —many of them captured in tender, caress-like close-ups — to minute physical gestures: Bettina (the bouncy and vibrant Lisbeth Gruwez) gently putting lipstick on her daughter, Tessa (Kimke Desart); Tessa feeling her father's (Sam Louwyck) scratchy beard; Bettina trimming Szabolcs's (Zoltán Miklós Hajdu) stringy hair.
The family at the center of Lost Persons Area lives on a remote plot of land that has more dirt than it does grass. Pylons tower over their small residence, and a team of...

'"You're going to make me famous," I said. "Photographers can be replaced," replied Marilyn'
I first photographed Marilyn Monroe in 1960. I was 23 and not yet a very good photographer. By 1962, when Paris Match magazine asked me to shoot her again, I had won awards and was better – but I had a bigger ego, too.
She was filming what would be her last movie, Something's Got to Give. I read the screenplay in advance, and discovered that in one scene she would jump into a swimming pool and then pretend to have no clothes on. I saw Marilyn before the shoot and she was upset that she was getting $100,000 for the movie while Elizabeth Taylor was getting more from the same studio. She said something like: "What would happen if I jumped in with a bathing suit on, and actually came out with nothing on?" Her press agent said: "You're kidding.

Documentary photographer George Zimbel was in the right place at the right time the night a subway vent and a white dress conspired to immortalize Marilyn Monroe’s considerable physical charms. By Dean Brierly. Marilyn in classic mode in Zimbel's photo titled "The Flower" (Photo copyright George Zimbel. All rights reserved. Reprinted with permission) When Marilyn Monroe stood atop a New York City subway grating—her white dress billowing above her waist as co-star Tom Ewell looked on with lecherous intent in director Billy Wilder’s The Seven Year Itch—she was already established as the era’s most potent sex symbol. But the film, and the subway imagery in particular, forever enshrined her as the screen’s quintessential love goddess.The scene was originally filmed during the early morning hours of September 15, 1954, at the corner of Lexington Avenue and 52nd Street. Heavily publicized beforehand, it attracted a thousand or...
