Kenneth Branagh and Haris Zambarloukos BSC GSC to present Belfast at EnergaCAMERIMAGE

With less than a week away from the beginning of the annual celebration of the art of cinematography – the 29th edition of EnergaCAMERIMAGE International Film Festival – they have announced another filmmaking duo has decided to present their latest artistic collaboration to the festival’s audience.

Director/writer/producer Kenneth Branagh and cinematographer Haris Zambarloukos will join EnergaCAMERIMAGE in Toruń for the Main Competition screening of Belfast, their poignant story of love, laughter and loss in one boy’s childhood, amid the music and social tumult of the late 1960s.

Kenneth Branagh is one of the most lauded directors, screenwriters and actors in the world, and has worked with a number of extraordinary cinematographers, yet it was a meeting on the set of 2006’s Sleuth with Haris Zambarloukos that resulted in the most fruitful director-cinematographer collaboration in his career. Back then, Haris Zambarloukos was an emerging talent of the world of cinematography, being named as one of Variety’s “10 Cinematographers to Watch” but having only a few feature film credits. Together they have infused their innovative films with thousands of memorable images, including Thor (2011),  Cinderella (2015), Murder on the Orient Express (2017), and the upcoming Death on the Nile (2022). In 2017 they have accepted Camerimage Cinematographer – Director Duo Award.

By coming to Toruń this year Kenneth Branagh and Haris Zambarloukos will join other high-profile director-cinematographer duos who will present their films at EnergaCAMERIMAGE 2021: Denis Villeneuve and Greig Fraser (Dune), Joel Coen and Bruno Delbonnel (The Tragedy of Macbeth), Joe Wright and Seamus McGarvey (Cyrano), Cary Joji Fukunaga and Linus Sandgren (No Time to Die), David Lowery and Andrew Droz Palermo (The Green Knight).
