Director of Photography Erik Henriksson has shot Apple Vision Pro and The Weeknd’s immersive music experience Open Hearts.

Congratulations to Director of Photography Benjamin Kračun for winning the Excellence Award for Cinematography from the European Film Academy for ‘The Substance’. The jury have said of their choice to award Benjamin: ‘Just as Elisabeth Sparkle’s world in "The Substance" contracts, the cinematography of Benjamin Kracun simultaneously excels. Despite the constraints of her environment, he playfully explores her physical and psychological demise with highly stylised lens distortions and manipulations. It is loud and glossy, but also manages to eke out an unexpected intimacy and vulnerability. The audience is transported through to an unbearably painful, and hilariously raucous ending, achieved only through collaboration with all departments and is undoubtedly a celebration of cinematography and cinema.'
