The lectures in this module focus on cinematography and the role of the cinematographer. In this module, Wings of Desire, directed by Wim Wenders and shot by famed cinematographer Henri Alekan, was screened. Cronos, Guillermo del Toro’s first feature film, was also screened. Both are extraordinarily beautiful films with haunting cinematography.
