BBC Four - Cinema Through the Eye of Magnum Photos

A look at Magnum Photos' pictures of cinema.

Magnum Photos' pictures of cinema from Robert Capa's photographs of Ingrid Bergman and Eve Arnold's relationship with Marilyn Monroe to Paolo Pellegrin's portraits of Kate Winslet.

From the day it was created in 1947, Magnum Photos has represented some of the most famous names in photography whose pictures have come to define their times. But Magnum's work also includes more surprising images - pictures of cinema. This film recounts this remarkable collaboration - from Robert Capa's photographs of Ingrid Bergman and Eve Arnold's intimate relationship with Marilyn Monroe through to Paolo Pellegrin's portraits of Kate Winslet, providing an essential history of both cinema and photography.

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.

BBC Four reflects arts, music and culture with an ambitious range of intellectually and culturally enriching programmes, taking an expert and in-depth approach to its subjects.
