CRAIG MCCALL

Plot

Cameraman illuminates a unique figure in British and international cinema, Jack Cardiff, a man whose life and career are inextricably interwoven with the history of cinema spanning nine decades of moving pictures ten. The phrase 'legend' is all too frequently used in Hollywood, yet Jack Cardiff's story surely proves him truly worthy of that title. In this unique insight into Jack's life and work, the master himself explains how he helped elevate cinematography to an art form and made history with his groundbreaking vision and technical wizardry in films such as The Vikings, The Red Shoes and A Matter Of Life And Death.
