Yes. There have been several good documentaries about HCB and about Capa. Examples: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentaries/storyville/capa.shtml http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0780019482/103-4359602-3759834?v=glance Try the Fondation Cartier-Bresson for more details: http://www.henricartierbresson.org/ They include this PDF of films by and about him: http://www.henricartierbresson.org/hcb/ressources/HCB_filmo_fr.pdf There is series of videos/DVDs called 'Contacts' which are short films of photographers doing 'show and tell' with their contact sheets. I haven't seen any of them yet, but they are available from the Centre Nationale de la Photographie / Jeu de Paume in Paris: http://www.cnp-photographie.com/ - then follow the menu straight there. -- Cheers, Bob
