ATM Lens Days 2026 och ”1670” – nya sätt att se

Det finns något märkligt med rum fyllda av objektiv. Inte bara för att de är många, utan för att varje glas representerar ett möjligt sätt att se världen. När jag kom till årets upplaga av ATM Lens Days i Warszawa slog det mig att det redan var tredje gången jag var där. Första gången kändes det som en mässa. Den andra gången började man förstå hur allt fungerade. Den här gången var känslan snarare att komma tillbaka till något bekant, nästan som att komma hem.

BSC Expo 2026

Whoever came up with the idea of opening this year’s Expo on the ominous date of Friday the 13th certainly had nerves of steel, since superstition runs like a long traditional thread through cinema history. The classic monster movie King Kong from 1933 is 14 reels long because in the first edit they discovered that it ran 13 reels, and to release it that way was unthinkable, so either cut it down or shoot some more. Filmmakers Schoedsack and Cooper knew they had a hit on their hands and so decided to shoot the famous scene where King Kong smashes a subway car in New York City. 

Det finns inget tråkigare än en snygg bild – ett samtal mellan filmfotografen Lisabi Fridell och Adam Nilsson

Lisabi Fridell mötte Adam Nilsson på en filminspelning i en känsla av kreativitet och inspiration. Sjutton år senare samtalar de om att hitta tillbaka till den där skapande platsen, i en tid som räds “komplicerade” filmfotografer och vill undvika det skeva.

Camerimage 2025 – Reflections by Lars Pettersson

The 33rd International Camerimage Film Festival took place between the 15th and 22nd of November in the picturesque little medieval city of Torun, birthplace of famed astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus and one of Poland’s national treasures. The film schools of Lodz and Warsaw must also surely be counted among Poland’s proudest cultural heritage. And we’ll get to them in a little while.

This year’s festival differs from those of recent years, in that there is no life achievement award given to a famous director of photography. Instead, the festival coordinators have decided to make this edition a tribute to, and a celebration of the work of, Director David Lynch.

My key takeaway from Camerimage concerns AI

At Camerimage this year, a recurring theme for the seminars was AI. For me, the key takeaway came from a passionate speech by former ASC president Michael Goi. It was a call-to-arms of sorts, not against AI, but to engage with AI. 

Michael argued that there is a window of opportunity, where cinematographers and filmmakers can engage in dialogue with the developers, and influence the technological advancement. It is of utmost importance that we do engage with the developers of these tools. If we don’t, they might develop in a trajectory that could damage visual storytelling. 

A Personal, Slightly Chaotic, Entirely Honest Report from CAMERIMAGE 2025

There are two types of people in this world:

1. Those who think Camerimage is a calm, reflective cinematography festival.

2. Those who have actually BEEN to Camerimage.

For us DoPs, Camerimage is the annual ritual where we briefly emerge from whatever shoot we just wrapped… only to immediately return to total darkness and spend 10 hours a day in cinemas watching films until any sense of “morning” or “evening” simply stops existing.
