Excerpt from the article at EYEMAZING:
Photographer and director Christian E. Klinger has made an intimate portrait of several young American photographers. Tanyth Berkeley photographs people in the streets of New York whom she calls “Survivors”; Ashley MacLean and Traci Matlock (a.k.a. Rose and Olive) explore sexuality; and Elinor Carucci photographs herself and her family. In making this film, the filmmaker sought and experienced a touching sense of truth, which he shares with us in this interview.

Sarah Baxter: Being a photographer, what led you to make films on photographers?
Christian Klinger: As a photographer, I’ve worked for agencies, magazines and Internet platforms such as Cicero, Merian and HQ. I specialised in people-oriented editorials.
Filmmaking was always a dream. But in the past, you always needed a lot of people to make a film. In 2006, the advancement in digital filmmaking technology made everything much simpler. And this opened new doors, representing a new opportunity to get into the film world, because things Read the rest of this entry »

Survivor
New York is a magnet, the quintessence of that which captivates cosmopolitan life: Speed, freedom, unlimited possibilities, art and culture. New York is sexy, contrary to the notion that it has long ago forgone its attraction to other metropolitan cities. Those who visit New York can still sense the promise of the American Dream.

Interview with Christian E. Klinger about Jock Sturges ….
The official filmwebsite:
LINE OF BEAUTY AND GRACE * A documentary about Jock Sturges
Here is a beautiful, silent and politically incorrect interview with our director Christian E. Klinger from John Lingan about women, Jock Sturges, filmmaking and love….
SPLICETODAY.COM: This is the second in a continuing series of Splice Premieres, articles that profile artists, musicians, and filmmakers that are making careers outside the mainstream media. Along with interviews and background information, these articles will contain samples of the artists’ work, including unreleased or newly debuting material. The first Premiere was Zach Kaufmann’s interview with St. Louis alt-country band Theodore.
Christian E. Klinger’s first documentary, Line of Beauty and Grace, concerns the controversial American photographer Jock Sturges, whose plaintive images of nude children and young women have attracted accusations of child pornography. Sturges shoots his photos in Montalivet, a town in coastal France noted for its hospitality to naturist vacationers, and Klinger traveled there to film the photographer and his models as he worked. Sturges typically works with the same models for years on end, and he brings his family to the shoots, as well. Line of Beauty and Grace therefore documents an artist who creates his own spare, comfortable worlds in both his work and life.
The movie aired on German television and is now available on DVD from the website for Klinger’s production company, Amadelio Film. It briefly mentions the controversies surrounding Sturges’ work (a phenomenon, Klinger points out, that only occurs in America), but begins with the assumption that his photography is inarguably important and viable artistically.
