For seventy years, the photojournalists of Magnum have observed the world of cinema as they would any conflict, social issue or country on the map. It was out of love for the actress Ingrid Bergman that Robert Capa took Magnum’s very first photo of cinema, on the set of Alfred Hitchcock’s Notorious, inaugurating the relationship between the agency and the world of films. Using original, unseen stories and interviews, Cinema Through the Eye of Magnum retraces this relationship over 70 years. It is a confrontation of two seemingly opposite worlds : fiction and reality, and a unique look behind the scenes of cinema in the making.
