Mary Ellen Davis 2007 Documentary 65 min.

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. This
documentary reveals the artist and the man through his photographic work
and his open meditations on life and the creative process. The film was
shot 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), in New York, and in Southern Ontario,
Canada. Towell's breathtaking images are bound together in this work by
multiple notions of territory - forbidden territories, occupied
territories, creative territories, and territories of refuge.
