inspired the film.
MARY ELLEN MARK, voted by the readers of American
Photo as the most influential woman photographer of all
time, has made some of America's most iconic images
in a career spanning more than three decades. In Twins,
Mark turns her acute eye and her heart to the
extraodinary bond that exists between these very
special siblings. For two consecutive years, she set up a
studio on the site of America's premier twins festival
"Twins Days" in Twinsburg, Ohio, and invited
participants to be photographed using the Polaroid 20 x 24
camera.
These stunning portraits are accompanied by an extensive
series of interviews illuminating the often complex and
significant subtleties of everyday life as a twin.
