Sophie Maintigneux
Indipendent cinematographer (DE)

Cinematographer Sophie Maintigneux started her career in France working with directors like Eric Rohmer and Jean-Luc Godard before she moved to Germany. Here she began to regularly collaborate with Michael Klier and Jan Schütte, directors who appreciated her authentic style, and started focussing on documentaries. In today's session Sophie Maintigneux will talk about the differences between the cinematographer's requirements working on a feature film or a documentary. Supported by screened scenes from some of her films she will discuss topics like intuition, curiosity and distance as possible attributes for directors of photography.
