De Sisti The Muses of Light

Deux ans après avoir été dévoilées officiellement au grand public, les Muses of Light de Storaro et De Sisti ont fait leur apparition sur les plateaux de tournage.

Faisant équipe depuis 2015 avec Woody Allen, Vittorio Storaro est actuellement en tournage à Paris. Annoncé comme un retour au thriller (dans la veine de Crimes et délits ou Match Point, les deux perles noires de sa longue filmographie, ce film est annoncé comme l’ultime réalisation du cinéaste New Yorkais. Vittorio Storaro, AIC, ASC, revient avec nous sur sa carrière mythique, sur sa définition du rôle d’"Auteur de la cinématographie" (et non pas de directeur de la photographie) ainsi que sur les "Muses of Light", sa série exclusive de projecteurs LED développés avec De Sisti et baptisés des noms des neuf filles de Zeus. Une gamme distribuée en France par Dimatec et Stéphane Samama, avec qui nous l’avons rencontré. (FR)

Three-time Oscar winner Vittorio Storaro, who has been working with Woody Allen since 2015, is currently shooting in Paris. Billed as a return to the thriller genre (in the same vein as Crimes and Misdemeanors and Match Point, the two black pearls in his long filmography), this film is expected to be the New York filmmaker’s final film. In this interview, Vittorio Storaro, AIC, ASC, reflects on his mythical career, his definition of the role of a "Author of cinematography" (and not Director of photography) as well as on The Muses of Light, his exclusive series of LED spotlights and softlights developed with De Sisti and which were given the names of Zeus’ nine daughters. The full range is distributed in France by Dimatec, and Stéphane Samama, with whom we met him. (FR)

Opening Un Certain Regard competition, Icelandic director Rúnar Rúnarsson’s new film is about grief and lies. The young Icelandic actress and singer Elin Hall plays an ambiguous character, torn between the pain of losing her man and the impossibility of revealing him to others... Swedish cinematographer Sophia Olsson shot the film, which is almost entirely shot in Iceland’s capital, and whose iconic locations will undoubtedly evoke memories for lovers of this timeless city.

Pierre Lhomme’s career has traversed nearly fifty years of French cinema, displaying the same ease and rigorousness with directors such as Alain Cavalier, Chris Marker, Jean Eustache, James Ivory, Joris Ivens, René Féret, Jean-Pierre Melville, Jean-Paul Rappeneau, Margurite Duras, Patrice Chéreau, Robert Bresson, Bruno Nuytten, and others. These richly-diverse collaborations were all nourished by an attentive and uninterrupted observation of natural lighting in all of its forms: “I train my eye everywhere, in the street, in the cinema. I am very curious about gazes, ambiences, climates. Reality is a prodigious source of inspiration.” (P.L.)

After their first success with a film whose meticulous recreation of a 17^th-century community caused a sensation (The Witch, 2015), the duo composed of Robert Egger (director) and Jarin Blaschke (cinematographer) has taken on another, even more concentrated historical fantasy project. Namely, the meeting between two men (Robert Pattinson and Wilhelm Dafoe) alone on an island where they are the caretakers of a lighthouse in the early 19^th century. The film was shot in Nova Scotia and has very dense visuals evocative both of silent film and period fantastic engravings. The film was presented in the Directors’ Debuts competition at Camerimage 2019.
