Taking a moment to remember cinematographer Halyna

Taking a moment to remember cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was fatally shot earlier today on the set of 'Rust' starring Alec Baldwin in Santa Fe.

Reportedly, Baldwin shot a prop gun which injured director Joel Souza and killed the 42-year-old Hutchins. We're sure the incident will spark a new debate about set safety, but we wanted to take this moment to remember the artist.

Hutchins was an LA based cinematographer that American Cinematographer listed as one of the industry’s “Rising Stars of Cinematography" in 2019 and the more we saw from her over the years, the more it became apparent that she was truly a gifted storyteller.

As per ICFC, Hutchins enjoyed experimenting with lighting and impressionistic storytelling. She grew up on a Soviet military base in the Arctic Circle and previously worked as a journalist with British documentary productions in Europe.

After moving to Los Angeles, she graduated from the AFI Conservatory with MFA in Cinematography and has recently finished shooting her sixth feature film, an art house action Archenemy, directed by Adam Egypt Mortimer and produced by SpectreVision.

“Darlin’”, a horror feature lensed by Halyna and directed by Pollyanna McIntosh (The Walking Dead), has premiered at the SXSW film festival 2019 and had limited theatrical release in the US while playing internationally at the Edinburgh Film Festival, Fantasia, London FrightFest, BiFan and Sitges among many others.

Halyna was one of the 8 Female Cinematographers for the 21 Century Fox DP Lab.

Halyna had recently finished production on Blindfire, a crime drama written and directed by Mike Nell starring Brian Geraghty (The Hurt Locker, TNT’s The Alienist) and Sharon Leal (Supergirl, Instinct).

Congrats to Julia Ducournau for winning the Palme

Congrats to Julia Ducournau for winning the Palme d'Or at @festivaldecannes with Titane.

We will never forget Raw (2016), or Junior (2011)... so this recognition of one of cinema's brightest voices is in a sense a long time coming.

This award is historically significant and we can only imagine what a breakthrough this is for both women, and women in the genre to have Titane embraced the way it has been by the audience, jury and critics at Cannes.

Cannes 2021 has been highlighted by women for us. Seeing Pendance alums Marija Apcevska and Sabrina Van Tassel on stage at the festival was surreal! So this was just a wonderful cherry on top!

About ASIA

Asia had her daughter Vika (Shira Haas, Unorthodox), now a teenager, when she was very young, and has raised her alone. Though wary of men, she still looks for love in singles bars while having an affair with a married colleague.

Vika, who suffers from a degenerative disorder, longs for love and sex, too, but is afraid she will die before she can experience it

About TWO

In her remarkable debut, director Astar Elkayam tackles the physical and emotional challenges two women face when they decide to start a family. Initially optimistic, Bar and Omer embrace the process, eagerly combing through a catalogue of potential donors and facing the insemination process with humour.

After Omer repeatedly fails to become pregnant, a sense of failure gnaws at them, threatening to undermine their relationship. Mor Polanuer and Agam Schuster (Your Honour) deliver outstanding performances, realistically capturing the toll that the process takes on the young couple.
