JOS. The Forgotten Photographer Who Saved a Town (2023)
G | Documentary | 46 mins
Director: Dave Kwant
For nearly 100 years the name Jos Divis was missing from histories of New Zealand photography. Now a wrong is being righted. Some call him the ‘inventor of the selfie’. A street photographer ahead of his time he pioneered techniques to capture images of ordinary people and their working lives in a way no one else could.
Imprisoned for his beliefs, he lived his last years alone in the ghost town he helped bring to life, his family believing him dead.
JOS is a journey of discovery following a historian, a photographer and a museum curator all working to give Jos Divis the recognition he deserves.
