British Cinematographer’s Focus On: Film guide is out now – and free to all to read

Film is experiencing a revival as cinematographers working across projects of varying budgets and genres increasingly choose celluloid to realise their creative visions and tell captivating stories. Instead of purely being rooted in nostalgia, the resurgence is driven by film’s unique discipline, texture and process. Rather than limitations, film’s constraints are seen as strengths by many, engraining intention and focus in every frame.

Inside this special issue, you can find:

• DPs including Robbie Ryan BSC ISC and Vanessa Whyte BSC on embracing the unique aesthetics of analogue
• Jermaine Edwards, Sean Ellis BSC and more on choosing the right film cameras
• William Rexer ASC, Nelisa Alcalde and others on how creatives see, shoot and select glass
• How film combines with virtual production
• Whether lighting demands differ when shooting on celluloid
• Ways to make shooting on film more sustainable

… and much more!
