Cannes 2018: Here Are the Cameras Used To Shoot 32 of This Year’s Films

“Los Silencios”

Chris O'Falt for Indie Wire, May 11, 2018

Dir: Beatriz Seigner
DP: Sofia Oggioni
Format: 2.8K ARRIRAW
Camera: Arri Alexa Mini
Lens: Set of Leica Summicron

Oggioni: “As a cinematographer, my role in a film is to help the director tell their story. That is why I try to make an interpretation of light according to the intention of the director for each scene. I always look for a camera with a good dynamic range, and even though my favorite format is 35mm, I find that in the digital realm the Alexa best interprets light in a natural way. This is important to me because in many situations, I can only work with natural light, reflective surfaces, and negatives to achieve the contrast I need. In these moments, I don’t want to be fighting a camera; I want a sensor I can rely on, especially when I must deal with difficult contrast situations.”
