Abbas by Abbas
Director of Photography
Abbas was a great reporter. He went to the scene of the great events that changed the world from the 70s to today. He worked for the largest news agencies. Suffice to say that it is at the heart of the history of current photography. But not only that. Beyond having been a witness of his time, it can be said that he was the confidant. This is reflected in his way of engaging in conflict, of travelling a country, without a priori, to meet men caught up in the ups and downs of history, but also by his curiosity for the way men live different religions. What does photography tell men? What do men tell of themselves through their multiple practices? Here is the portrait of an observer of the world, the last words of a great photographer of our time, a few days before disappearing.

The Trial of Adolf Eichmann
Camera Operator

Do You Still?
Camera Operator
A beautiful homage both to Ernst Reijseger's music and genre ambiguity. This documentary tries, and mostly manages, to balance the picture by capturing private solo improv sessions, both indoors and outdoors, that display Reijseger's mastery over different colors and tones - with the same astounding technique and soulful commitment. Interspersed with beautiful country- and city-side footage that evokes his ever contemplative music, Do You Still? also features intimate and sometimes bitter-sweet statements by Reijseger on his early years, "career" choices, mannerisms, anxieties and shortcomings.
펭귄 - 위대한 모험
Director of Photography
남극에 서식하는 황제 펭귄들은 짝짓기 시기인 겨울이 올 무렵 그들은 각자 바다에서 나와 조상 대대로 새로운 생명을 탄생시켜온 ‘오모크’라는 신비한 장소를 찾아 몇 날 며칠을 길고 긴 대상의 무리를 이루며 그들만의 은밀한 짝짓기 장소로 여행을 시작한다. 신기하게도 같은 날 같은 장소에 전부 집합한 황제 펭귄들은 암컷과 수컷은 곧 1부 1처로 짝짓기를 한 후 귀한 알을 낳는다. 알을 낳느라 지친 어미는 알을 수컷에게 맡긴 후 자신의 영양 보충과 태어날 새끼에게 먹일 먹이를 구하러 다시 바다로 떠나고, 수컷은 아무 것도 먹지 못한 채 3~4개월 동안 굶주리며 동면상태로 알을 품는다. 그리고 알이 부화되면 다시 아비는 먹이를 구하러 떠나고 어미는 돌아와 알에서 나온 새끼를 키운다. 어미와 아비가 번갈아 가며 먹이를 구해오는 동안 혹독한 추위와 눈보라, 그리고 외부의 적을 이기며 살아남은 새끼들이 독립하게 되면, 이제 모든 펭귄들이 오모크를 떠나 다시 바다로 돌아가는 마지막 여정에 오른다. 그들은 대양 여기 저기에 흩어져 4년을 보내다가 다시 짝짓기 계절이 오면 어김없이, 마치 마법에 이끌린 듯 한 날 한 장소에 모여 셀 수 없이 반복됐던 긴 여정을 다시 시작한다.
