【內容簡介】
紐約與巴黎: 兩座熱情和美麗的城市。這兩座城市在其黃金時期經常成為攝影師鏡頭下的主角，也在攝影史上留下了極多具象徵性的代表照片。本片主角「貝倫妮絲‧阿博特」和「猶金‧阿傑」是兩位偉大的攝影師，他們對攝影史的貢獻無人能敵，其作品建立了現代藝術的雛形，也把現實主義引進創意思考的前線應用。
本片探索了貝倫妮絲‧阿博特和猶金‧阿傑這兩位攝影師的工作和生活，介紹他們之間的微妙緣份，以及他們的傑作如何成為都會攝影的起源。他們的生活雖艱困卻都充滿熱誠。這部影片呈獻出他們共同的成就，對他們的攝影作品表達敬意，並近距離觀察這兩座曾激發他們靈感的城市－「紐約與巴黎」。
透過許多的訪談，包括阿博特的傳記作家漢克‧歐奈爾、倫敦維多利亞和亞伯特博物館攝影館館員馬克‧哈沃斯布斯、法國國家圖書館(BNF)館員紀堯姆‧勒高爾，慢慢勾勒出這兩位偉大攝影師的人生故事與作品意涵。另外，影片中可以看到兩位攝影師豐富的作品，以及巴黎和紐約城市舊貌的影片，其中包括一段非常罕見、從帝國大廈頂長時間拍攝的影片，帝國大廈的拍攝許可得來不易，由此可見貝倫妮絲‧阿博特在紐約的崇高地位。

Paris and New York. Two cities whose names are synonymous with passion and beauty. Both of these cities were extensively photographed during their golden ages and the results produced some of the most striking iconic images in the history of photography. The two artists who carried out this world renowned work were linked together in a very special way, yet up to now their story has never been told. The images that they took helped establish the medium as a modern art form, and brought realism to the forefront of creative thinking.
Our film explores the life and work of both Abbott and Atget, how they were linked and how their extensive work represents the birth of urban photography. Both of their lives were difficult and passionate. This film of their joint achievements is a fitting tribute to their work and also a detailed look at the cities that inspired them.
Interviews include Abbott`s biographer/friend, Hank O`Neal, Mark Haworth-Booth, Curator of Photography at the V&A in London and Guillaume LeGall, Curator of Photography at BNF, Paris. We also include rare interview footage with Berenice Abbott, taken shortly before her death. The full access to both artists archives has been used in the film along with original footage of both Paris and NYC, including a rare time-lapse shot taken from the top of the Empire State Building. (Permission to film from the Empire State is rarely given, and our access is testament to how revered Berenice Abbott is in New York City.)
