Cameraman: The Life and Work of Jack Cardiff
March 28th
8pm
Technicolor. Jack Cardiff's career spanned an incredible nine of motion pictures' first ten decades, and his work altered the look of films forever through his use of Technicolor photography. He was the genius behind no less than three films we are screening as part of our Technicolor series (Steel, The African Queen, and The Red Shoes). Craig McCall's passionate film about the legendary cinematographer reveals a unique figure in British and international cinema.
"For his inventions, imagination, and sheer audacity, there has never been another color cameraman like Jack Cardiff. Jack's lighting and composition in The Red Shoes would have infuriated Delacroix, because he couldn't have done any better himself, in imagination or in chiaroscuro." - Michael Powell
