Ad Astra
Director of Photography
An impressive parable where the artist’s creativity is paralyzed by the dull crowd can be seen as a metaphor for a totalitarian system. Cleverly designed animation shows the artist as a tied man whose creativity is hindered by the crowd. A visually attractive film with very interesting editing won an award at the Annecy festival in 1983.
Private Nightmare
Cinematography
A man sleeping is haunted by surreal and everyday images: a grotesque dream-scape of the socialist countryside.
