Matthew Libatique has had an impressive career as a cinematographer with
extensive experience in the music video industry and in feature films, where he is probably best known for his work with Darren Aronofsky. He’d already heard a lot about the festival and had wanted to come here for years, so he was delighted to receive an invitation to be a juror. He’s says he’s finding that judging films exercises another part of him as a film maker, as he’s not a film critic and usually only analyses films for personal reasons.
He recognises numerous cinematographers as inspirations including Nestor Almendros, Vittorio Storaro, Robby Müller and Sven Nyvquist who he calls “the gods of my craft,” and asked about what attracted him to working with Aronofsky, he mentions how they have been friends since film school with similar interests in film and music. He’s open to working with any interesting people with a cinematic voice and says that one of the great benefits of coming to an international festival is that you are introduced to so many great directors. As for whether he finds it easy to adapt to technological innovation, he confesses that he finds it difficult to keep up so he refuses to cloud his mind with too much technology, as it takes away from his creative intentions: “you don’t invent an idea from technology but from a screenplay,” he explains.
