“Cinematography speaks to everything that women do inherently well: It's multitasking, it's empathy, and it's channeling visuals into human emotion.”
– Rachel Morrison, first woman nominated for Best Cinematography at the Oscars in 2018

Women have held vital positions in filmmaking since the beginning of its history. Based on our current knowledge, the first credited female director of photography (DP) is Italian Rosina Cianelli in 1915, but there are earlier examples in US magazines. Cinematography is traditionally a male profession. It is a technical and physical job, involving endurance and heavy lifting, which have not been thought of as something that women were good at. But as time goes by, many women have broken the stereotype, and secured their place in this line of work by making films across genres. Today, women cinematographers are still a minority, and widespread recognition of their contribution is still overdue. To appreciate their efforts, the Hong Kong Arts Centre presents this programme with our partners to introduce their work, accompanied by after-screening talks with them or their directors.
There have also been more women taking up creative roles in Hong Kong filmmaking. We hope this programme can encourage women to join the profession, and our audiences can learn more about the challenges, skills and mindsets that women and men in the profession have – for all to bask in the vast world of film creation and appreciation.
Guests that will be attending virtual after-screening talks include director Emmanuelle Nicot (Love According to Dalva); directors Mary Jimenez and Bénédicte Liénard, and cinematographer Virginie Surdej (By the Name of Tania); cinematographer Gabriela Betschart (Our Child and #Female Pleasure); Christine A. Maier (Quo Vadis, Aida?).
More guests to attend virtually or physically to be announced in due course.
