Maja G Italian cinematographer and editor showcasing stories on screen to audiences in an international context.
"In our media-saturated culture, reading and interpreting words and images (together and apart) is an increasingly important skill. Being neither neutral nor benign; they tell us much about social relations, power and privilege, as well as the taken-for-granted attitudes of the society within which they circulate.
Being behind the lens and deciding colours, shapes and mood of the world through it made me and still makes me feel like a magician, with the world as the audience."
As Robert Bresson says: "My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water."
Filmmaking is a painful process; deep inside grounds the knowledge that with passion, patience, and perseverance, that film that you must do will be forever instead.
