The B-Side: Elsa Dorfman’s Portrait Photography (2017)

Celebrated documentary filmmaker Errol Morris turns his lens on portrait photographer Elsa Dorfman, who made a name for herself documenting a large swath of humanity, including her famous friends in the Beat Generation, such as Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti.

Dorfman also famously photographed people, both with and without AIDS, engaged in activities that might help those suffering during the height of the epidemic in their daily lives. The project was in collaboration with graphic artist Marc A. Sawyer for the book 40 Ways to Fight the Fight Against AIDS.
