Bucharest (Romania), 3 July, EFE/EPA, (Camera: Robert Ghement).- A decade ago, when digital technology was beginning to take hold and many people thought that celluloid cinema was dead, Rodrigo Ruiz-Tarazona decided to opt for a studio that would continue to make films as they were made before, and in 2013 he acquired CineLabs Romania, the last studio in the European Union still capable of making films on celluloid. FOOTAGE OF CINELABS ROMANIA, AND THE LATEST EU STUDY CAPABLE OF MAKING CELLULOID FILMS. INCUDES STATEMENTS BY INDEPENDENT FILMMAKER CRISTI PUIU; CORNELIA POPA, GENERAL DIRECTOR OF CINELABS; AND RODRIGO RUIZ TARAZONA, OWNER OF CINELABS, "THE LAST STRONGHOLD OF CELLULOID".Translations:1.- "I come from painting and photography, and someone like me should in principle choose film unconditionally, but this is not my case. In my opinion, film has qualities that digital does not have and vice versa. But in absolute terms, in an ideal situation where I had the budget and the freedom to choose any medium, I would choose film".2.- "This laboratory located in Bucharest, Romania, is the only one in the entire European Union that offers Kodak celluloid film and all the services to process it, from A to Z".3.- "This is a Calder 16 mm and 35 mm negative film processing machine. And here you can see the 'soft touch tower' type rollers, which protect the negative when running".4.- "When you film on celluloid, every shot counts, and you work in a more responsible way. When you film in digital, certain things can be corrected later, and everyone is more relaxed and tends to be negligent in some way".5.- "I have observed that relaxation does not only affect the actors, but also the camera operators. When you work with film you give the utmost importance to all the details, so that you don't endanger what you film. When you work on film, all operators must respect the highest standards of their profession. The calculation is permanent, as is the attention. When you work in digital format you can see in real time what you are filming. When I was filming The Death of Mr. Lazarescu we couldn't see exactly what we were getting on film. When you film in digital you suffer from a kind of perversion of perception. When Felini was filming he didn't have the possibility to see on a monitor what he was filming, and the relationship of trust with the operator was at maximum. In a way, it was a kind of marriage between the two.6.- "Of the 2,000 films submitted to the Cannes Film Festival in 2016, the projects we worked on won four awards. One of them was The Mimosas, a film shot in 16 mm by Oliver Laxe that was made from start to finish with our laboratory. Another was Dogs, a film by French-based Romanian director Bogdan Mirica."7- "Digital is trying to reinvent the wheel. Film on negatives have existed for 140 years, it's very evolved, so it has the kinds of qualities that are impossible to achieve. In terms of human retinal perception. In terms of the perception of the retina in a human being, a human being captures the negative image with much more quality than any image of any digital format".8.- "The growth of projects on film has been 400 percent since 2015-16, especially in 16 mm".
Cannes (France), Jul 17 (EFE / EPA) .- (Camera: Marco Álvarez) Two very interesting films about mental problems but from different points of view. They are "Nitram", by Justin Kurzel, and "Les intranquilles", by Joachim Lafosse, the last two titles screened in the competition at the 74th Cannes Film Festival, which this Saturday unveils its winners.FOOTAGE OF THE PRESS CONFERENCES BY THE NITRAM TEAM, WITH CALEB LANDRY JONES (ACTOR), JUSTIN KURZEL (DIRECTOR), NICK BATZIAS (PRODUCER) AND SHAUN GRANT (SCREENWRITER)
Cannes (France), Jul 5 (EFE / EPA) .- (Camera: Marco Álvarez San Román) With 30 per cent less press and a notable increase in films in the official section, the 74th edition of the Cannes Festival will open Tuesday with the aim of "offering a good festival and defending cinema."PRESS CONFERENCE OF THIERRY FRÉMAUX (DIRECTOR OF THE CANNES FESTIVAL).- TRANSLATION:1.- We have received many messages congratulating us for having endured and we have no merits or any demerits. Last year we fought to try to make the festival exist and although we got close, it could not be. This year we have been able and we have done it. It is our job, it is our privilege to have this festival and we have always said, last year the festival was not held because the situation was more serious than the existence of a film festival, even if it is the most important in the world. 2.- Cinema surrounds us. Our victory must not be our defeat. Cinema is everywhere and especially on the platforms that buy our films or that hire directors to make films on the platforms. It's fantastic. They show that they like shows that with an artistic trail left by cinema. This art object lasting an hour and a half or two - I'm not talking about series, I'm talking about movies - shows that it is a good formula.3.- Kléber Mendonça, because we have seen very good Brazilian cinema -and it can be seen in the selection- and his presence is in some way the tribute we want to pay to Kléber, who has competed twice, but also to the Brazilian cinema, which is a great cinema. And to Brazil, which is a great country and has been mortally hit by the pandemic. Among the guests is Walter Salles who will be here. It is important for a part of the press. Obviously there is the Rio Festival that will also take place. It is also a privilege to say that we have the possibility of inviting this type of audience, of insisting on their presence, and that is how the Cannes Festival dialogues and goes beyond mere cinematographic questions and is a way... that Kléber denounced the coup on the red carpet of which Dilma Roussef was a victim. And it is a way of honouring the commitment of artists.4.- On journalists, there is a loss of 35-30%. Which is more or less the general figure. On the one hand, some people cannot travel: from Latin America it is very difficult to travel. Although many journalists pass through Madrid, through Lisbon, who have quarantined ... The loyalty of the people to Cannes and how many of your colleagues, or maybe yourselves, who are here is very exciting ... Each one has found a system to be present.5.- Yes. Globally, the festival has 40 thousand accredited. 35, 40 thousand accredited. And now we are at 28 thousand, 29 thousand.6.- Yes, of course, everyone is subject to the same rules. But often there are certain movies, certain movie teams that focus on specific sites, have their own doctors, their own nurses to do the tests themselves. For example, for the photocall, we'll have tests for each artist and professionals of the delegation that will be there.7.- Our teams will wear a mask; the photographers, of course; the spectators. They will go up the stairs with the mask on. The stars, the film crews, who are well known, will be able to remove the mask for the photos. And Pierre Lescure and I, who will be at the top, spent a week thinking about not wearing it because we were going to be looking ahead and it was enough. But now we are thinking that to be exemplary, we should wear the mask too. At the bottom of the stairs, no kisses, no hugs, nothing.8.- Thank you all very much once again for being here with us. And ... Good festival to everyone!
