Although I love “I have a dream”, my favorite speech by Martin Luther King is the one he gave the night before his assassination: “I have been to the mountain top“.

You can listen to the rousing, prophetic and death-defying 8-minute conclusion, which starts by recounting a previous assassination attempt when someone stabbed him, and ends with:

Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land! And so I’m happy, tonight. I’m not worried about anything. I’m not fearing any man! Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!!

Martin Luther King, Jr

We spoke in the café at Camerimage in Lodz about contrast, perhaps the most important aspect of cinematography.

This 2013 panel was moderated by BSC cinematographer Phil Meheux and composed of:

ASC cinematographer & President of Cinematographer Guild Steven Poster
Milan Krsljanin, Business Development Manager, Arri GB

Most of the panelists seem to be slanted towards Alexa 2K, which is unfortunate, as it doesn’t make for the strongest debate about 4K :)
