ANNIE LEIBOVITZ: LIFE THROUGH A LENS

Annie Leibovitz has produced some of the most iconic images of the last 30 years and is, literally, our most influential woman photographer. She has shot the rich and famous, the profound and powerful, the exceptional and notorious. Her camera has documented the horrors of war - most recently in Sarajevo and Rwanda. Masterful at exposing her photographic subjects, Annie's own life has been private and protected. In this film, she made the decision to bare her artistic process, her personal journey and her delicate balancing of fame and family to the camera - a camera that is being vigilantly pointed by a filmmaker who is her younger sister.

Hayley Allen "It's important to have things around you that lift your spirits ... Colour and a sense of humour are integral to the products I design. I love that there's a story. I love that I've seen how it impacts on people's lives."

-- A Single Word -- On bananas & banality -- A little more heart --

Martin Hughes "I don't have a cause; I'm just really excited about coming up with creative solutions to social problems. Although 'The Big Issue' wasn't my idea, its success was partly my responsibility so I feel like I was part of that solution."

Visual Acoustics

Visual acoustics: the modernism of Julius Schulman is a new DVD available for loan from the Learning Centre.

"Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, Visual Acoustics celebrates the life and career of Julius Shulman, the world's greatest architectural photographer, whose images brought modern architecture to the American mainstream. Shulman, who passed away this year, captured the work of nearly every major modern and progressive architect since 1930s including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner, and Frank Gehry. His images epitomised the singular beauty of Southern California's modernist movement and brough its iconic structures to the attention of the general public. This unique film is both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the magnetic, whip-smart gentleman who chronicled it with his unforgettable images." -- back cover
