Documentary

Our documentary unit is directed by Nicolas Van Achter. Culture, our universe, is built on language. That’s what he learned during his studies in anthropology and sociology (ULB). And also this: that societies are beautiful and hideous things holding on balance on Myths. It is to go in search of these that he continues his training by cinema studies (INRACI). His method of working in co-creation is based on the principles of postmodern anthropology: in any project, nothing is done without the cooperation of each party. Cinema-trance. Cinema-truth.

Here’s how he’d explain his job in 3 words :

ENERGY

Shooting is about two things: the reality in front of you and your level of energy. Every frame requires attention, feeling and a dance with the camera.

UNDERSTANDING

Next come the mind and the brain. Defining the situation, understanding the key elements and their relationship to each other. Every new project demands different skills and approaches.

ESTHETIC

I pay a critical attention to the language of the image. I've been really lucky to start my professional life with splendid and affordable digital cinema cameras: Red, Arri, Blackmagic. I love them and travel with them in the search for cinematic emotions.
