during the online IMAGO and Digital Orchard Foundation Diversity and Inclusion Roundtable at Camerimage. Also noting the current situation in Poland and even calling out the festival itself.

ASC’s Bonnie Elliot added: “Women are tired of talking about being ‘female cinematographers’ and I understand this fatigue, but it’s not a secret that Rachel Morrison has a wife. She is a trailblazer and she is open about who she is, which is encouraging. I am not here to out anybody, but it would be wonderful if they would make this choice.”

Trying to generate awareness around so-called “wellbeing facilitators” with Matt Longley and helping production companies take care of their freelance crews, she aligns the role to that of the intimacy or stunt coordinator. “A stunt coordinator would never let the shoot go on if they thought someone would be harmed.

Estonian DP Elen Lotman added: “The first year we organized this event, our main tagline was: ‘If you can see it, you can be it.’ We have to keep it up even if we are sitting at home.” But so many minority cinematographers coming to Camerimage have seen very specific representation in the competitions, she noted, with Raquel Fernández Núñez chiming in.

“I realized I haven’t worked with as many women as I should have. I haven’t consciously employed them,” she said, pointing out that everyone has to step up, including guilds and associations, which still tend to be very exclusive. “They can’t keep on being a clubhouse, as that word already implies that some people are not in the club.”
