THE ART OF VISUAL STORYTELLING: CINEMATOGRAPHER STYLE

Sunday, October 8, 12:00–2:00 pm
Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center
$15 SEM08R

In connection with the screening of Jon Fauer’s film Cinematographer Style, a group of highly regarded cinematographers will discuss their art and its relation to filmmaking as a collaborative process. This indepth discussion will begin by taking up the film’s subject, the art and craft of cinematography, and then branch out to consider questions such as the cinematographer’s relationship to the director and other crew members; the way one becomes a cinematographer (many of those interviewed by Fauer initially set out to be painters, architects, graphic designers, even writers and actors); and the role of technology in art, specifically, the ways it might influence a cinematographer’s style.

Invited guests:
Daryn Okada cinematographer, president of the ASC, Just Like Heaven, Mean Girls, Stick It
Elliot Davis cinematographer, Out of Sight, I Am Sam, White Oleander, Thirteen, Lords of Dogtown
M. David Mullen cinematographer, Akeelah and the Bee, Shadowboxer, Northfork, The Astronaut Farmer
