AFC Micro Salon 2009, a delightful experience

by Sue Gibson, BSC President

In British Cinematographer, March 2009

As a little light from the camera tests I visited the AFC Micro Salon at the beginning of February, which was a delightful experience. I must say it was small but perfectly formed.
Held at La Femis, the Film School, not only were eminent cinematographers there but students which added to the "buzz", and gave the whole place a feeling of great energy.

It was arranged over three floors with lighting and grip equipement downstairs, cameras and lenses on the first floor and presentations in the very well-equipped theatre.

Throughout the two days were different presentations every twenty minutes, long enough to be informative (even in French), and short enough to whet the appetite. They ranged from digital workflows, the Red camera, 2-perf production and post, and Fuji’s Eterna Vivid 160.

This year the Belgian Society of Cinematographers was invited to show case its members’work. Next year the BSC has been invited to guests for honour and present the work of the Society, so get your thinking caps on now.
