I received this e-mail (which you can read below) from our friend Ronny Prince announcing a new international medium concerning the topicality of our photo-cinematographic "art": Cinematography World, which will be released in print, web and digital magazine form early next year.
As part of the "Toute la mémoire du monde" Festival, Rob Legato was the guest of the Cinémathèque Française on Friday March 6, for a Master Class to a full house. The session is now available online in a subtitled version hosted by Arte.tv, until April 6, 2025 !

It is with a pang in my heart that in late June 2018, I will hear for the last time the continuous purring of the AFC’s printer carrying out the task that was assigned to it for the last quarter century. Namely, the reproduction of nearly three hundred copies of the AFC’s monthly Newsletter. Indeed, in the name of prudent cost-saving measures, and with a few rare exceptions that will confirm the rule, the Newsletter will only be available in PDF format, which each recipient will be able to print out if need be.
The association of lighting designers (ALD) alerted the profession against a possible revision of the European Community lighting directive to the entertainment (Scenic, event, film and TV). I signed the petition from the ALD and I participated in the European Union survey to defend the LEDs and tungsten lighting technologies. Imago asked me for my opinion on the question. And here is what I replied.
In honour of the Kazuo Miyagawa retrospective, which is being held at the MoMA in New York from 12-29 April 2018, and the Kenji Mizoguchi retrospective (Miyagawa filmed many of his movies) taking place at the Cinémathèque Française through 15 April 2018, Marc Salomon, consulting member of the AFC, offers us the opportunity to look back on the career of this Japanese cinematographer.
Fascinated by experiments with lighting, Bruno Nuytten, the cinematographer who made his débuts in cinema on Marguerite Duras’ films, and who later worked with the likes of Godard and Claude Berri, decided to stop working on films in 2001. After a long absence, he’s back with photographs and an exposition in Paris.
An adaptation of the real-life event of August 2015 in which three young American tourists prevented carnage on board a Thalys train, The 15:17 to Paris is a strange cinematographic mix of fiction and reality. The movie stars the three heroes themselves, and the film transitions from an adaptation of a drama (about the three boys’ childhoods) to a sort of documentary-fiction style in which each element seems to have been drawn straight from reality, down to the integration of archival footage for the epilogue in the Elysée Palace. Tom Stern, AFC, ASC, the Californian director’s loyal cinematographer, explains the cinematographic issues facing this extra-ordinary film. (FR)
Walter Lassally, BSC passed away on 23 October 2017 at the age of ninety. His death marks the turn of an important page in the history of cinematography, as his career and his work belong to a time that, alas, is definitively over.
Dear Sir, You live in Argenteuil… I live in Paris, in the 18th arrondissement… So we are neighbours and have grown up together in France, where both of us were educated to “the right to freedom of expression” and “the right to create”?
Within the same week, two major and emblematic figures of American cinematography departed this earth. They particularly represented the style that emerged within the “New Hollywood” movement, and which irrigated American cinema with a new lifeblood from the end of the 1960s to the early 1980s.

I met Kheiron at the begining of 2014. I had already read his script and we ran into each other in Simon Istolainen’s office at Adame Pictures. I was instantly excited about the adventure. The script based on Kheiron’s parents life was a mix of strong emotions that I immediately wanted to see on screen.
