The Italian DP started by commenting some of his own photographs, and went on to discuss key films. I was particularly taken by his recounting of two collaborations with director Michelangelo Antonioni: the documentary China and The Passenger (Luciano discussed the famous one-shot finale at length).

Luciano also discussed his use of color in Dario Argento’s Suspira, and his bright night exteriors in Argento’s Tenebre.

Bravo to Alain Coiffier, Eric Guichard, the AFC and the entire crew of Cameflex for organizing a fascinating event.

Cameflex was produced in partnership with Cinéma Grand Action, K5600 Lighting, Panavision Alga, Ymagis, and the support of the CNC, CST and the San Sebastian Film Festival.
