Alun Bollinger has been crafting the slanting southern light onto film for almost 40 years. Arguably New Zealand's premier cinematographer, images framed by Bollinger's camera are some of the most indelible memories to come from iconic films like Goodbye Pork Pie, Vigil and Heavenly Creatures.
I like being minimalist. I suppose it’s because I’ve been brought up in the shoestring school of filmmaking. I quite enjoy for instance putting up one light and making it do two or three different jobs.
