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.

ODCC 2025
The ninth edition of the Oslo Digital Cinema Conference (or simply the ODCC for short) focused on the extremely timely and highly relevant topic of Artificial Intelligence and the impact it may have on the motion picture business. Held at the Norwegian Film Institute in Oslo during the weekend between the 21st and 23rd of November, the Conference gathered about 120 participants who were treated to no fewer than a whopping 21 presentations by international experts in the field. The ODCC is a collaboration between the Norwegian Society of Cinematographers FNF, the Norwegian Film Institute, IMAGO, Nordisk Film & TV Fond as well as the Swedish (FSF) and Danish (DFF) Societies of Cinematographers.
ODCC’s own Commander-in-Chief, Paul René Roestad FNF, has arranged this event biannually since 2006, although with a regrettable but necessary four year hiatus in the early 2020s because of the pandemic.
