RIP Sabastio Salgado, some of you may remember when we screened his film Salt of the Earth.
Posted on Facebook.
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Sebastiao Salgado.
Sebastiao was much more than one of the greatest photographers of our time. Along with his life partner, Lelia, he sewed hope where there was devastation and brought to life the belief that environmental restoration is also a profound act of love for humanity. His lens revealed the world and its contradictions.; his life demonstrated the power of transformative action through extraordinary photography and environmental action.
A kind, soft spoken man and friend of ours; we are shocked and deeply saddened. He will be remembered forever.
In this moment of morning, we extend our heartfelt condolences and solidarity to Lelia, his sons, Juliano and Rodrigo.
