Interview with Sylvester Fonseca
In this interview, he shares how his shift from still photography to moving images shaped his cinematic eye. He speaks about the importance of realism in storytelling, the discipline of reading a script until it reveals its visual rhythm, and how Sony VENICE allows him to translate that vision with honesty and precision.
The VENICE changed the way I approached low light storytelling. There was a scene in Amar Singh Chamkila where they got his body to his house and during that time there was no electricity, the whole place was dark with only candles and oil lamps available. That’s where we actually pushed the camera to its
limits.
