Cinemas of the Mind – The Salt of the Earth
Co-directed by his son Juliano Salgado, this fascinating documentary portrait traces the career of outstanding Brazilian photographer, Sebastião Salgado. It spans 40 years of his work which took him around the world focusing on international conflicts, starvation and exodus, and natural landscapes both pristine and in decline. On his return to his native Brazil, with his wife Lelia, they begin to reforest the land on his father’s ailing ranch and co-found the Instituto Terra.
Followed by a post-screening Cinemas of the Mind discussion with Antony Penrose and Dr Francoise Hutton, chaired by Jenny Leeburn. Antony Penrose is the son of Lee Miller and director of the Lee Miller Archives at Farleys House and Gallery. Dr Francoise Hutton, a consultant psychiatrist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, worked for 10 years at the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture where a garden and horticultural therapy programme is an important part of the service it offers.
Cinemas of the Mind is part of the Arts Forum of Psychotherapy Sussex.
