Painting With the Camera: Christopher Doyle

\\\\\\\"I always wanted to be the Mick Jagger of cinema but I think I.m the Keith Richards\\\\\\\", said cinematographer Christopher Doyle once, and anyone who knows Chris Doyle tends to agree.Thanks to his collaboration with director Wong Kar-wai, Australian born Christopher Doyle enchants the New Asian Cinema like no other cinematographer.

The dynamic photography in CHUNGKING EXPRESS or IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE has inspired filmmakers all over the world,but also his films for Zhang Yimou, Barry Levinson or Phillip Noyce are marked by his expressive power. In this programme, Du Kefeng, as Christopher Doyle is known in China,will introduce his working philosophy.Having never attended film school, the most important thing for Doyle in making films is having something to say. You see it in all of his pictures, and today you can listen to it too.
