The Banshees of Inisherin: Ben Davis BSC goes off-road with the Ursa Mini Pro 12K
The Banshees of Inisherin is a beautiful, darkly humorous film written and directed by Martin McDonagh, set on the fictional Irish island of Inisherin in 1923.
Ben Davis, BSC, cinematographer and frequent McDonagh collaborator, shot the film on Achill Island, County Mayo, and Inishmore in the Aran Islands, situated off the Galway coast, from August 2021 to the end of October 2021, with the landscape of the islands acting as the canvas on which McDonagh paints the tragicomic tale.

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.

In memory of Nigel Walters BSC
The news of Nigel’s passing was received with great sorrow among his many friends World-wide. Not many people have the same extraordinary ability which Nigel had, to connect and to so warmheartedly make close and lasting friendships with so many people, whatever nationality, language or culture, all around the World.

The 2025 ICFF Manaki Festival
For each visit to the ”Manaki Brothers” Film Festival, I find I have to dust off new superlatives to describe it. The 46th edition, which took place between the 20th and 26th of September, is no exception. With over 540 guests attending -almost three times the normal amount of participants- it may well be the most ambitious one yet, and Bitola with its mosques, churches and ubiquitous dogs, is as impossibly charming as ever. And there’s a new director in charge.
