BFF25 I Am Martin Parr

AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

I Am Martin Parr offers a vibrant and intimate portrait of one of the world’s most celebrated photographers, delivering audiences a rare chance to step inside the colourful lens of his singular vision. Known for his sharp wit, playful irony, and unflinching eye, Martin Parr has spent decades capturing the humour, absurdity, and humanity of everyday life. This documentary takes viewers beyond the iconic images, revealing the man behind the camera, his inspirations, quirks, and relentless curiosity about the modern world.

The film blends candid interviews, behind-the-scenes access, and a dazzling archive of Parr’s work to chart his evolution from a young observer of British culture to a global chronicler of consumerism, leisure, and social rituals. At once humorous, provocative, and deeply human, this enduring documentary is as much a meditation on photography as it is a celebration of creativity and observation. Whether you’re a longtime admirer or a newcomer, this film invites you to see the ordinary made extraordinary, all through Martin Parr’s unmistakable eye.
