Two More Picks from Hot Docs '14 - World Premieres:
Mugshot & Write Down, I Am An Arab
Hot Docs '14 runs April 24 - May 4, 2014
Mugshot
Directed by Dennis Mohr
Language: English
(Canada)
Mugshot is a feature documentary directed by Dennis Mohr investigating the cultural significance of the mug shot. Originally a law enforcement tool, the mug shot has deviated from its fundamental
purpose as a source of criminal identification. It has been sensationalized through celebritydom, exploited by the leniency of freedom of information, and has captivated the attention of the art world. MUGSHOT explores the personal stories of those whose lives have been transformed by these iconic photographs.
This world premiere is accompanied by art exhibition of vintage mug shots, curated by Stephen Bulger at the Isabel Bader Theatre.
