As we are aware The Garden Cinema membership community is not just made up of cinema enthusiasts, but also covers a large range of film creatives, we like to help connect our members working across all departments of the industry.
For our regular industry panels, we invite knowledgeable speakers to discuss their specific branch of the industry, with plenty of time for asking questions. After the discussion, we all head into the Garden Bar, so you can network with fellow members.
On Wednesday 26 June, we will be joined by cinematographers Evelin van Rei NSC (Walk with Me, Passenger, Bad Sisters, Chemistry of Death), Bebe Dierken (Sexy Beast, Midas Man, The Million Robbery, Doctor Jekyll), and Nanu Segal BSC (Hoard, Emily, Scoop) to discuss all things cinematography. Join them in an honest and open conversation as they discuss their journeys, identities, philosophies, biggest challenges, and how they maintain authenticity and safeguard mental wellbeing. Come prepared with your most daring and curious questions!
Tickets are restricted to 1 per member, and available for just £5, which includes a token for a complimentary house wine, beer or soft/hot drink.
About the speakers:
Dutch autistic cinematographer & artist Evelin van Rei NSC received the Angénieux Special Encouragement Award at Cannes Film Festival in 2022, which recognises next-generation cinematographic talent. She is well-known for her distinctive and artistic imagery both in still and moving image. Visceral, textured, intricate, and reminiscent of tenebrism qualities in paintings. Evelin seeks to create thought-provoking, authored, authentic, innovative, and emotionally resonant films. Cinema as art form. She has a soft spot for indie, arthouse, surrealism, experimental, psychological thriller, and sci-fi.
