βMy eye and my sensibilities kind of always lead to 500T,β says My Father's Shadow DP Jermaine Edwards. βI really like the way it renders an image, I like the reds, I like the image I get from it as a starting pointβ¦ Iβm comfortable using it, and it gives me that extra sensitivity that I need in tight spots.β
Around 12 years ago it seemed that manufacturing of motion picture film stock might end forever, but thanks to Kodakβs rise and recent developments elsewhere, filmmakers today still have creative choice when it comes to stock.

Our Focus On: Shooting on Film guide is out now β and free to all British Cinematographer readers! π₯
Film is experiencing a revival as cinematographers working across projects of varying budgets and genres increasingly choose celluloid to realise their creative visions and tell captivating stories. Instead of purely being rooted in nostalgia, the resurgence is driven by filmβs unique discipline, texture and process. Rather than limitations, filmβs constraints are seen as strengths by many, engraining intention and focus in every frame.
Inside this special issue, you can find:
- DPs including Robbie Ryan BSC ISC and Vanessa Whyte BSC on embracing the unique aesthetics of analogue
- Jermaine Edwards, Sean Ellis BSC and more on choosing the right film cameras
- William Rexer ASC, Nelisa Alcalde and others on how creatives see, shoot and select glass
- How film combines with virtual production
- Whether lighting demands differ when shooting on celluloid
- Ways to make shooting on film more sustainable
β¦ and much more.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.
