Cinematography Salon
About this episode

Rachel Clark, BSC, brings a poetic realism to the screen, and in this special edition episode recorded at the Camerimage Festival, she reveals how she constructs that visual language. Joining hosts Ava Benjamin Shorr and Lauren Guiteras to reflect on the making of “Edge of Summer”, a lyrical coming-of-age film set in the haunting landscapes of Cornwall. Clark unpacks her immersive handheld approach, the challenge of lighting with only headlamps, and the deeply collaborative relationship with director Lucy Cohen. Their discussion explores the aesthetics of memory, adolescence, and the subtle power of image-making that trusts the viewer’s emotional literacy.
