Directed and Produced by Robert Burrill and Ruth Bernhard 

Robert Burrill worked in partnership with Ruth Bernhard to complete her feature-length autobiographic film, "Illuminations: Ruth Bernhard, Photographer." The film premiered in 1989 at the Kabuki Theater in San Francisco and on local PBS station KQED in 1990. Her work, distinguished by its exquisite use of light and subtle exploration of form and texture, earned her critical acclaim and a place among the leading figures in 20th-century photography. In Illuminations, Ruth Bernhard reveals her deeply personal vision, which reaches beyond ordinary perceptions.
