In February I went to the 62nd Berlinale film festival in Berlin to see the premiere of SIDE BY SIDE, a fascinating documentary by Chris Kenneally (director) and Keanu Reeves (producer) about the science, art and impact of digital filmmaking on traditional photochemical cinema. This event took place on 15/02/2012 and clips have been available on YouTube for months. This is my personal material, shot on Sony HX9 point-and-shoot digicam.

I also attended the second event on 16/02 when Keanu discussed interview techniques with director Marc Cousins and a bunch of film students. Fascinating stuff, I have to admit. Why have I never thought about studying film?

I strongly recommend this documentary. You can watch it straight off this page for a small fee - there's a link placed to the right of or below my video. If you love cinema and you ever wondered what a cinematographer does, this is definitely something you should not miss.
