曾景文的世界

Kingman, who has been fascinated with movies since seeing his first film"The Thief of Baghdad", distinguished himself in this field as well. In 1954, the academy award -winning cinematographer James Wong Howe directed and photographed the exceptional 15-minute documentary,"Dong Kingman". Kingman also produced, directed and animated"Hong Kong Dong" which received the Outstanding Achievement Award for Best Short Film at the San Francisco International Film Festival in 1976.http://www.filmreference.com/Writers-and-Production-Artists-Ha-Ja/Howe-James-Wong.htmlhttp://www.cinematographers.nl/GreatDoPh/howe.htmKingman worked through most of the last century (1911-2000) and his style is timeless. He combined intense observation and minuscule details with a loose, personal approach, all drawn with his deft brush. This film, shot by two-time Oscar winner James Wong Howe, is remarkably sensitive. It shows how Kingman worked on location and in his studio, how he developed a painting and incorporated his memories, sensations, and feelings, all with a dignity and non-invasve approach that's typical of the best documentaries of the period.
