Film Screening: I Am Martin Parr

An intimate portrait of the iconic photographer who revolutionized contemporary photography.

Film poster with a pink background and large green letters spelling out the title “I AM MARTIN PARR.” In front of the text, people are shown in everyday seaside scenes: two women sit on the ground with picnic items and bags, several people lean over a seawall looking toward the sea, and colorful balloons float on the right side. Small Union Jack flags hang like bunting across the top of the image. The poster has a playful, documentary-style aesthetic inspired by Martin Parr’s photography.

about the documentary I Am Martin Parr

Discover one of the most iconic and controversial photographers of our time. Martin Parr’s uncompromising images balance on the edge of humor and discomfort, holding up a mirror to consumer society where we inevitably recognize ourselves.

Once heavily criticized in his early career, Parr is now celebrated worldwide for redefining contemporary photography. Directed by Lee Shulman, I Am Martin Parr is the definitive portrait of an artist who brought the everyday moments we so often overlook straight into the spotlight.
