A contemplation of occupation, exploitation, documentation and the role of the
photographer and his art

SYNOPSIS

A giant in the world of documentary photography Larry Towell has garnered
several top-level honours, including the 2005 Priz Nadar and the first Henri
Cartier-Bresson Award. This program follows Tolwell as he uses his camera to
confront foreboding landscapes and shed light on struggling communities –
drawing parallels between the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the
militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border. Towell also reflects on the creative
process, offers insight into the photojournalist’s trade, and describes his
experiences as an eyewitness to the 9/11 attack on New York City. His
thoughtful commentary accompanies numerous examples of his work. Filmed in the
Occupied Palestinian Territories (West Bank and East-Jerusalem), at the border
between Mexico and the United States (States of California and Baja
California), New York and Southern Ontario in Canada. TERRITORIES will be
preceded by the short – A DAY IN PALESTINE, 2007, 6 minutes.

Larry Towell is the only Canadian member of the legendary Magnum Photos Agency,
known for its humanist and universal approach. Towell belongs to this
tradition. His curiosity may guide him sometimes to the heart of conflicts, but
his works express a particular sense of intimacy. More than a war photographer,
Towell considers himself a family photographer. This documentary reveals the
artist and the man through his photographic work and his open meditations on
life and the creative process.
