BAFTA: FOR THE LOVE OF FILM

Posted on 2016-01-04

‘BAFTA: For the Love of Film’ is a special commission for photographer Phil Fisk to produce a new series of portraits of skilled experts working in the craft of filmmaking. The exhibit will shine a light on the industry and will enable visitors to learn about the many different roles involved in making a film from famous casting agents, cinematographers, costume designers and performers.

Portrait subjects range from actors including David Oyelowo (Selma, Interstellar) and Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars: The Force Awakens) to a wide array of behind-the-camera talent including directors Terry Gilliam (Brazil, Tideland) and Stephen Frears (The Queen, The Program), cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema (Interstellar, Spectre), casting director Nina Gold (The King’s Speech, The Imitation Game) and producer Alison Owen (Elizabeth, Suffragette).

As with much of Fisk’s previous work, the images play with the notions of reality and dreams, creating a uniquely surreal perspective providing an insight into excellence in film.
