Meeting of Alan Parker and Michael Seresin with students<\/b>

Both gentlemen admit that today\u2019s technology incredibly helps in cinematographer\u2019s work, but at the same time digital technology breaks discipline of the actors. Contemporary cinema does not tell enough with images, it has too much text in it. Also issues of working in Poland and abroad were touched.
