A Healthy Baby Girl + The Tourist

With filmmakers Judith Helfand and Robb Moss in person 

A Healthy Baby Girl 
Dir. Judith Helfand. 1997, 60 mins. U.S. 

The Tourist 
Dir. Robb Moss. 1991, 60 mins. U.S. 

In Robb Moss’s poetic, reflective The Tourist, a filmmaker approaching middle age ponders his life as a cinematographer traveling the world and the ethics of capturing images; on the homefront he and his wife struggle with fertility issues. Judith Helfand, meanwhile, was initially the subject of a documentary about children who contracted cancer from a popular fertility drug, before taking over her own story and making her debut A Healthy Baby Girl. Both films wrestle with humor and empathy over questions of what should and shouldn’t be captured on camera and the place of the filmmaker in relation to their images. What elements of our personal lives are fair game for the camera, and what is better left unfilmed?
