Idéale Audience

Co-produced by Haut et Court and directed by Franco-British-Indian filmmaker Sandhya Suri, the film Santosh is a poignant portrayal of women (much like the other Indian film of the summer, All We Imagine as Light, also directed by an Indian filmmaker and winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes). Set in a rural region of northern India (Uttar Pradesh), this debut feature revolves around a young woman, the widow of a police officer, who inherits her late husband’s job due to a peculiar local administrative policy. She faces her new colleagues and is soon confronted with the complex contradictions of Indian society. Sandhya Suri and her cinematographer Lennert Hillege, NSC, presented the film at Camerimage and answered audience questions. The film won the Golden Frog Award for Best First Feature Film. (FR)

Peter Biziou, BSC, was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award for his entire body of work at the Camerimage festival this year.

Le Monde, 15 décembre 2007

En 2007, année de l’essor de la télévision numérique terrestre (TNT), Arte est la seule chaîne hertzienne à conquérir - certes petitement - de nouveaux téléspectateurs. Son audience progresse de 0,1 point par rapport à novembre 2006. Ce qui situe, sur l’année, sa part d’audience moyenne à 1,7 %.

To mark the grand release of his first series on the Apple platform, the multi-Oscar-winning Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Roma, etc.) attended Camerimage to discuss his work and photographic choices with the audience. "Disclaimer" is a thriller in which a past event suddenly resurfaces, upending the very bourgeois life of the main protagonist (Cate Blanchett) and her family. Since its release in early November, the series has divided viewers and critics alike. Many argue that the two timelines explored by the filmmaker occasionally lack credibility and coherence, particularly with respect to the final resolution. Emmanuel Lubezki, AMC, ASC, and Bruno Delbonnel, AFC, ASC, shared the cinematography credits, each working on a specific part of the story. (FR)

The Filmlight seminars are always a big hit, and the length of the queue to enter the auditorium makes one fear the worst ! Philippe Ros, AFC, on behalf of Imago’s Technological Committee, introduced the seminar by reminding the audience of the Federation’s work on textures, which is available on Imago’s website. The famous FilmLight seminar duo was at the controls : Daniele Sirugusano, Color Scientist, and Andreas Minuth, Colorist.

In competition for the first time at Camerimage, Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona (The Impossible, Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom and the Amazon series "Lord of the Rings") and his Uruguayan cinematographer Pedro Luque answered the audience’s questions after the screening of his new film, The Society of the Snow.
