A film for the Tate Modern gallery, directed by Luke Tchalenko, edited by Jeremy Brettingham, with cinematography by Antonio Olmos.

In October 2010, Simon Norfolk began a series of photographs in Afghanistan, which takes its cue from the work of nineteenth-century photographer John Burke. Norfolk’s photographs re-imagine or respond to Burke’s Afghan war scenes in the context of the contemporary conflict.

This film looks at Norfolk’s work and practice in Afghanistan and examines the relationship between the two photographers.

The film was part of an exhibition this year of the same name at at the Tate Modern. You can also see the film on the Tate Channel.
