Cinematographer Elin Kirschfink, SBC, recently joined the AFC. Marie Spencer, one of her two AFC sponsors (the other being Caroline Champetier), makes the usual introduction below and welcomes her arrival.
During its last meeting, the board of the AFC decided both to admit Director of Photography Axel Cosnefroy as an active member and to admit the MovieTech and Sigma France corporations as Associate Members.
During its December 2017 meeting, the board of the AFC decided to admit the FilmLight corporation as an Associate Member. FilmLight is specialized in the development of tools that are essential to digital image making. Nathalie Durand, AFC, who, along with Antoine Roche, AFC, was FilmLight’s sponsor, introduces FilmLight below. We bid our newest Associate Member a warm welcome.
Julie Grünebaum was admitted to AFC membership in September 2017 after being sponsored by Robert Alazraki and Yves Cape. Robert Alazraki introduces her below with a few words of welcome.
Welcome to LCA (Lights Camera Action), our new associated member, and to its "boss" Nick Shapley. Although their operational base is in London, we have run into each other, over the years, in multiple places in the World where Nick and his team have shown their innovative "lighting solutions", supplying a wide range of film and TV equipment including LED and traditional lighting, grip equipment, power supplies, consumables and more. Last week end, they were running a booth at the 5th Oslo Digital Cinema Conference, where the attendees were invited to test different equipment.
During their last meeting in early March 2015, the members of the Board of Directors of the AFC decided to induct five new members into the association. Two Directors of Photography will be joining the AFC as active members, two corporations will be joining as associate members, and one new consulting member has also been admitted. Active Members:
The AFC is pleased to announce the arrival of Canon France as its newest Associate Member. A major player in the creation of still and moving images, Canon has listened to cinematographers over the last few years and now offers them new tools that are perfectly adapted to the latest techniques in cinematography.
During one of last autumn meetings, the AFC’s Board of Directors decided to offer Alain Coiffier membership in the AFC as a consulting member. Alain willingly accepted our offer and we are very happy to extend a warm welcome to him. Dominique Gentil, AFC, has written the customary introduction.
During one of its last meetings, the Board of Directors of the AFC decided to welcome director of photography Laurent Barès to the AFC as our newest active member. Yves Cape, AFC, SBC, has written the customary introduction. We all bid Laurent a warm welcome.
During its last meeting before the summer, the Board of Directors of the AFC decided to admit Director of Photography Sébastien Buchmann to the ranks of its active members. Having begun his career in the mid 90s, he has since frequented the likes of Céline Bozon, Nathalie Durand, and Eric Gautier, amongst others, and has had a parallel career as a cameraman on short, medium, and feature-length films. We bid him a warm welcome.
Sébastien and I have repeatedly crossed paths over the last dozen or so years. We both relayed working on movies by young directors like Jean-Charles Fitoussi, Antoine Fumat, Sandrine Rinaldi, and Claire Doyon. Then finally we even shared work a few films where shooting was spread out over a couple of seasons, such as Horezon, by Pascal Bodet, or The Queen of Hearts, by Valérie Donzelli.
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity of working with Sébastien at the beginning of my career as a director of photography. It was a great luxury to have him as my assistant. Serious in his approach to the job but while always displaying a great sense of humour, he is always a pleasure to have on the team.
During one of its last meeting, the Board of Directors of the AFC decided to induct director of photography Kika Noëlie Ungaro, AIC, as the newest active member of our association. Michel Abramowicz, one of her two AFC sponsors, introduces her below. We all wish to Kika the warmest welcome.
During one of its last meetings, the AFC’s Board of Directors decided to offer Franck Montagné, post-production director, consultant and trainer, membership in the AFC as a consulting member. Franck willingly accepted our offer and we are very happy to extend a warm welcome to him. Philippe Ros, AFC, has written the customary introduction.
During its last meeting, the Board of Directors of the AFC decided to induct Director of Photography David Ungaro as the newest member of our association. Rémy Chevrin, one of his sponsors, has written the following introduction, but we all wish him the warmest welcome as the AFC’s newest member.
It is with great pleasure that the AFC welcomes Angénieux as a new associate member. With a strong tradition that cinematographers have long valued, this French company, owned in recent years by the Thales group, has developed products that have been respected by directors of the photography for more than a century of cinema.
I am pleased to have presided over the destiny of Thales Angénieux for the past two and a half years. Although Angénieux is an internationally recognized brand in the world of cinema through our famous line of Optimo zooms, our company had not previously established any formal link with the AFC. Yet it is to the AFC and its members, directors of photography, the early users of our products, that we must turn to propose lenses that continue to perfectly meet the technical and artistic requirements of this métier.
