No Man’s Land , which won this year’s Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, was shot on Fuji by Belgian cine- matographer, Walther Vanden Ende.
Vanden Ende has been Belgian Cinematographer of the Year three times and his award-winning interna- tional work also includes
Toto le Heros, Daena and
Farinelli.
No Man’s Land, writ- ten and directed by Danis Tanovic, is the tale of two soldiers, one a Bosnian the other Serb, who find themselves stranded between enemy lines during the 1993 Bosnian War.
Opening here on May 17, it stars Branko Djuric, Rene Bitorajac, Simon Callow, Georges Siatidis and Katrin Cartlidge.
At Dawning, directed by Martin Jones and produced by Adrian Hughes, won the Golden Bear for Best Short Film at the Berlin International Film Festival earlier this year. It was shot on Fuji in Cinemascope by Mary Farbrother (The Darkest Light).
Starring Jenny Agutter, At Dawning, an hilarious comedy fusing ethical debate and screwball action, reaches a topsy-turvy climax as dawn breaks over London. ■
