THE SALT OF THE EARTH
Wim Wenders & Juliano Ribeiro Salgado, 2014, 110 min.
2:05 p.m.
For the last 40 years, Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado has been traveling through the continents, in the footsteps of an ever-changing humanity. He has witnessed some of the major events of our recent history; international conflicts, starvation and exodus. He is now embarking on the discovery of pristine territories, of wild fauna and flora, and of grandiose landscapes as part of a huge photographic project, which is a tribute to the planet’s beauty. Sebastião Salgado’s life and work are revealed to us by his son, Juliano, who went with him during his last travels, and by Wim Wenders, himself a photographer.
Shown with short film On a Wing and a Prayer (Alex Kolker, 2019, 10 min.) (Begins ~4:10 p.m, after the feature film.)
