Overview: In 2001 Jack Cardiff (1914-2009) became the first director of photography in the history of the Academy Awards to win an Honorary Oscar. But the first time he clasped the famous statuette in his hand was a half-century earlier when his Technicolor camerawork was awarded for Powell and Pressburger’s Black Narcissus. Beyond John Huston’s The African Queen and King Vidor’s War and Peace, the films of the British-Hungarian creative duo (The Red Shoes and A Matter of Life and Death too) guaranteed immortality for the renowned cameraman whose career spanned seventy years.

Overview: Like so many other actors, Ava Gardner hated to watch her films. She said that the woman on the screen wasn’t her. But all films tell two stories: the plot and the tale of the bodies filmed. This film narrates what happened between two images: a first shot of ‘Pandora’ and a first shot of ‘Harem’, the first and last movie filmed by the actress in Spain. Ava must certainly have thought that neither of these two women had anything in common with herself.
