Jean-Pierre Blaublomme

The winner of the 2023 Pierre Angénieux Tribute is a filmmaker who loves movement. He honed his skills shooting documentary films,when his passion for cinematography led him to cross paths with British director Ken Loach who offered him the opportunity to shoot Riff Raff, in 1991. He teamed up with Loach on several major films (Raining Stones, Ladybird, My Name is Joe, amongst others) until their The Wind That Shakes the Barley won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 2006.
He then altered dircetion and worked with Paul Greengrass (United 93, Captain Philips) and filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow, whose films The Hurt Locker and Detroit he shot. Barry Ackroyd, BSC, reminisces with us about his exceptional career and discusses how he creates cinema. (FR)

Géraldine Danon signe la réalisation de son premier film avec un biopic rendant hommage à la navigatrice Florence Arthaud. Elle fait appel à Pierre Milon, AFC, pour mettre en image ce film aux décors magnifiques, dont le plus magique : la pleine mer. Pierre Milon rend de son côté hommage à cette beauté en signant une lumière et un cadre naturellement puissants, comme les flots affrontés par la navigatrice… Le film est projeté au Cinéma de la Plage au Festival de Cannes 2023, un bel hommage aussi puisque la sépulture de Florence Arthaud se trouve sur l’île Sainte -Marguerite, juste en face de la Croisette… (BB)

Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire and David Ungaro, AFC (French Society of Cinematographers), team up once again on Black Flies. A very realistic and desperate dive into the world of American paramedics. Shot mainly at night, in Brooklyn, this film brings together for the first time on screen the acting duo Sean Penn and Tye Sheridan. David talks to us about the city as its own character in the film, shooting in an emergency truck and his approach to scaling lighting on a set. (FR)
