Pitzhanger Late: ‘Abbas by Abbas’ Magnum Documentary Screening

Overview

Join us for a special screening of Abbas by Abbas, a documentary revealing the story behind the legendary Magnum photographer Abbas Attar – better known by his mononym Abbas – completed days before his death.

Abbas’ photographs depict war, revolution and religious fanaticism; he went to the scene of many great events that changed the world from the 1970s to today. The late Franco-Iranian photographer discusses his work, on camera for the first time, over ten days in the Magnum Photos office in Paris. Filmmaker Kamy Pakdel has produced a portrait of an observer of our world, sharing the last words of a great photographer of our time, a few days before disappearing.

Abbas photographs as philosophers write. He doesn’t draw any conclusions; he doesn’t impose his point of view.

Kamy Pakdel, Director & Writer

Screened alongside Pitzhanger’s current exhibition, Magnum Photos: Where Ideas Are Born, which features photographs taken by Abbas, this is a unique opportunity to hear more about the life and work of one of the most influential photojournalists ever. Watch the trailer here.

Please note

  • The screening will begin promptly at 6.30 pm. 54 min. English subtitles.
  • Booking allows access to Pitzhanger Manor and Magnum Photos: Where Ideas Are Born before the screening.
