Overview
Based on an idea by William Klein, CONTACTS is a series of 33 essential films to discover the artistic itinerary of the most important contemporary photographers in the world from an original perspective: through the images selected and commented on by the author himself (sheets of contact, proofs or slides), we enter the secret universe of creative work, at the very heart of the process of making a photographic work.

Overview
From the late 1930s onwards, the streets of Paris and its suburbs were Doisneau's favourite subject. His images of the Liberation of Paris in 1944 and his famous picture The Kiss (Baiser de l'Hôtel de Ville) have travelled all over the world. His contact-sheets - with humorous comments from Doisneau himself - add up to a chronicle of the twentieth century, a linear memoir of the photographer's time and place.
