Gianvito and Meiselas
The second installment of this season’s Flaherty NYC series, Systems and Layers focused on the work of Susan Meiselas and her 1991 documentary film, Pictures From A Revolution. While embedded as a photojournalist in the Nicaraguan insurrection during the late 1970s, Meiselas captured thousands of images as violence and political unrest escalated throughout the region. Her photographs earned tremendous recognition for providing journalistic coverage of a conflict otherwise invisible to foreign press, and became important visual aids for The New York Times and London Times. Ten years after these powerful photographs traveled across the globe in her book Nicaragua, June 1978 to July 1979, Meiselas returned to Nicaragua in search of the personal stories behind the images. In Pictures From A Revolution, Meiselas is joined by Alfred Guzzetti and Richard Rogers as she retraces her steps through history in attempts to illuminate the personal contexts beneath this visual storytelling. The film was screened on 16mm film, courtesy of Harvard Film Archive.
