Female cinematographers are still a relatively rare breed in Latin America, and in the rest of the world for that matter. At Los Cabos, three femme cinematographers weighed in on the challenges and rewards of their chosen profession.
The panel was composed of Mexico-based Uruguayan Maria Secco whose credits include the acclaimed “La Jaula de Oro” and “Wind Traces”; Cesar-winning French cinematographer Agnes Godard, who has worked closely with such notable filmmakers as, especially, Claire Denis, as well as Wim Wenders, and Peter Greenaway; and New York-based Ashley Connor, nominated for a 2018 Independent Spirit Award for her work on “Madeline’s Madeline,” which premiered at Sundance last year.
Clips include a intimate sequence from “Madeline’s Madeline,” an extended border section from “La Jaula de Oro,” illustrating the diversity of effect of Secco’s work; and excerpts from Claire Denis’ “Beau Travail,” a reminder of the genius of Agnès Godard.presents five key points pondered and discussed in Los Cabos’ Miradas Extraordinarias’ panel.
