3 faces - Canon Mark IV & Zeiss CP.2

[Yurolov]

I will shortly be attending a screening of 3 faces, a film by iranian auteur jafar panahi. You might have heard of him, perhaps not, but he is the chap that is banned from making movies in his native Iran. He has made movies since his ban, Taxi Tehran, winning the golden bear in berlin. And 3 faces premiered in cannes.

I am intrigued by his situation because not unlike most of us he has to make do with what he has - certainly, he has the added benefit of a well-known name and the added benefits that comes with that. 

However, by reason of circumstance, perhaps more so than budget, he has to make do with the tools he has at his disposal. This meant for Taxi Tehran using the blackmagic pocket cinema camera.

Most recently, for 3 faces, he uses the cameras and lenses referred to in the title.

I will have the added benefit of seeing what these cameras look like on the big screen which is nice, though on the trailer they don't look too good.

However, that is not my point, my post is simply made to inspire anyone out there feeling constrained but what they can or can't afford.

Thanks for posting your thoughts.

Hopefully it will be released on something like netflix / amazon prime so that I may watch it.
