Sometimes, I am lucky enough to have the opportunity of participating in projects that enable me to combine cinematography and mountains. These uncommon adventures often require one to reinvent the way one approaches cinematography. Here are two experiences from two such films: the short film, Sur le fil, which I presented with Sigma at the last AFC Micro Salon, and the advertisement for “Schmidt Vertical Home”, directed by Neels Castillon, and produced by Quad, which we shot in Spring 2018.

January 31 was the fateful date of Brexit and it fell smack in the middle of the BSC Expo 2020. Thankfully, our British friends had gratified us with a “preview” opening on Thursday the 30^th from 16:00 to 19:00. Three “fluid” hours reserved for BSC members and VIPs to be able to walk around the expo, discuss with the exhibitors, and meet a few colleagues.

In 2019, three AFC directors of photography used Kodak film for the shooting of one of their movies. Hélène Louvart shot Eliza Hittman’s Never Rarely Sometimes Always on 16mm, Darius Khondji shot Benny and Josh Safdie’s Uncut Gems on 35mm, and Eric Gautier shot Hirokazu Kore-eda’s The Truth on 35mm 2-perf. Here are the links to the articles in which each of them talks about his experience.

Aering will intend the SBCine Expo in Brussels on March 13^th (1pm-10pm) and 14^th (10am -17pm).

Damien Vicart returns to one of his last feature films, which had some constraints. Budgetary, weather with rain, wind, in Paris, in long focal length, but we were able to contribute to this filming.

As a follow up to the Fujifilm X-T3 and the Fujinon MK zoom lens tests performed in May 2019, Fujifilm gave the AFC the opportunity to try out its new Fujifilm GFX 100 camera body and the Fujinon Premista 28-100mm zoom lens.

Dedo Weigert: "I am delighted to start this new collaboration with the Cartoni France team. We were looking for a distributor with professional technical expertise and contacts in both Cinema and Broadcast circles. Their customer approach corresponds to the values of Dedolight and I felt at home... During my visit to their office in Paris, I found Dedolight’s spirit!"

Although Paul Guilhaume has not been a film student for a while, he still dissects the storyboards of such masterpieces as Michael Cimino’s The Deer Hunter, David Cronenberg’s History of Violence or the Coen brothers’ No Country for Old Men - films that triggered his desire to be a cinematographer. Again and again, he watches the splendid lighting mismatches concocted by cinematographer-cum-magician Vilmos Zsigmond for Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, in the opening scene of which, on every single hot, everything and everyone is backlit against the sun!
