Posted on May 20, 2022 by Samara Husbands
To mirror the cultural revolution of on-film capture, Kodak hosted 25 new productions shot on-film at Cannes Film Festival 2022.
The gala featured four on-film titles who competed in Un Certain Regard with eleven of the 25 titles selected for Director’s Fortnight also captured on film.
“On behalf of the entire team at Kodak, congratulations to the motion picture artists whose exceptional work was selected to screen and compete at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival,” said Steve Bellamy, president of Kodak Motion Picture and Entertainment. “Film capture continues to grow exponentially across the feature film, TV, music and commercial segments, as evidenced by the strong showing of on film titles across the Cannes festival this year. Kodak would like to extend a huge “thank you” to the artists who fight for the medium. There’s simply nothing as magical as the photochemical image and we are honoured to help these auteurs realise their artistic visions on film.” said Bellamy.
As a testimony to the next generation of filmmakers’ and their commitment to analogue capture, four of the shot-on-film titles premiered were helmed by first-time feature directors.
It has been a strong year for productions shot on film. 2022 Oscar recognition of shot on KODAK film titles include Don’t Look Up, Liquorice Pizza, West Wide Story, The Worst Person in the World, Spencer and No Time to Die.
