Shot over 80 days between November 2023 and April 2024, the new French mini-series on Apple TV+ recreates the Napoleonic era in a project that combines espionage, haute cuisine and politics. At the heart of the story, which evokes a pact with the devil, is an ambitious young chef who quickly achieves fame and success through his connection with Talleyrand. Matias Boucard, AFC, is the director of photography for this series - in association with Éric Dumont, AFC - directed by Martin Bourboulon (The Three Musketeers). Laurent Héritier, as gaffer, took care of the many electrical setups on location around Paris and in the studio in Bry-sur-Marne. Premiering at the Séries Mania Festival, the series will be available on Apple TV+ in late April. (FR)

In the news from Panasonic in October, EVA1 IR Footage Palette, Panasonic’s Cinema Camera Line Up Joins Netflix Programme and control the EVA1 with a wired connection.

The V3.0 of the EVA1 is now available. It’s include a new generation of Codec : the HEVC (or h265) that allows 4K/50p 10bits internal recording.

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.

The 2016 AFC Micro Salon, which takes place on 5-6 February at La fémis in Paris, on three floors : the ground level, the first basement floor (level -1), and the 2^d floor. Access to all levels is via the central staircase inside the building. Below, you will find maps of the various exposition rooms and the location of each of the participating AFC associate members’ stands and a link toward the programme and schedule of the projections.

Few days ago, we received from Kees Van Oostrum, President of the ASC, these kind words addressed to all the members of the AFC. “I was going to write you last week when I got the news that the great Raoul Coutard had passed away but then decided that I was going to write my upcoming Presidents desk article for the ASC magazine about him and my personal connection. I never had the privilege of meeting him but he was of great influence to me as a cinematographer. Anyway included is the article that will go out in the next issue but wanted to share it with you already.”

L’ASC (American Society of Cinematographers) a publié sur son site, le 21 mai dernier, un article de David E. Williams en mémoire du directeur de la photographie Owen Roizman, ASC, décédé le 6 janvier 2023 à l’âge de 86 ans. Son travail à la caméra lui a valu de nombreuse récompenses, dont cinq nominations à l’Oscar de la Meilleure photographie pour les films The French Connection (1971) et L’Exorciste (1973), de William Friedkin, Network - Main basse sur la TV, de Sidney Lumet (1976), Tootsie, de Sydney Pollack (1982), et Wyatt Earp, de Lawrence Kasdan (1994).
