Book Presentation:
The best just got better” is how the new ARRI camera is advertised, and indeed the slogan is a perfect summary of the career of the company. To mark the centenary 100 famous film makers describe their experiences with ARRI – a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes and an entertaining journey from the era of celluloid to the age of digital films.
September 1917: the young film makers August Arnold and Robert Richter rent a small shop in Munich and found ARRI with a film-copying machine. 100 years later the company is the world market leader in cameras and a technical pioneer. Legendary cameras like the ARRIFLEX (Easy Rider) and the digital ARRI ALEXA (James Bond 007: Skyfall) have led to the company being awarded the Oscar for technical innovations on 19 occasions to date. And beyond the realm of Hollywood, ARRI cameras are also used for science and medicine. In this volume, directors, cameramen, lighting specialists, historians, producers and inventors from all over the world have a chance to speak. They sketch a multi-faceted portrait and look into the future.
