Shadowcatchers ACS Panel at the Sydney Film FestivalThe Digital Revolution - A Crisis in Cinematography The alarm bells are ringing for cinematographers around the world, and as President of the Australian Cinematographers Society, Ron Johanson ACS, has written, "What we do as cinematographers is under threat. We are losing to technology and every new CGI movie drives another nail in the coffin." To accompany the SFF screening of Keanu Reeves' documentary Side by Side, a panel moderated by cinematographer Erika Addis from the AFTRS, of top Australian Cinematographers including Peter James ACS ASC, Andrew Commis ACS, Danny Ruhlmann ACS and Kathryn Milliss, will tell it like it is and what it means to work in a digital environment. This is also your chance to attend and take part in the discussion, and also find out what is happening globally in cinematography and what the implications are for Australian and International cinema. Lower Sydney Town Hall, FREE, SO DON'T MISS IT! NO EXCUSES!!! Copies of The Shadowcatchers: a history of Australian Cinematography can be purchased following this important discussion, and the opportunity also exists to have your book signed by author Martha Ansara and the participating cinematographers.
