F or many in the industry, September means one thing: IBC. While traditionally aimed at the broadcast sector, there’s more and more to explore on the cine side of the show too, and I can’t wait to see what’s new this year. Check out our guide to the must-see speakers and stands on page 70. We’ve also got news on Manaki Brothers ICFF, Cine Gear ATL, NAB New York and a look ahead to the SMPTE conference, plus we catch up with the president of the Irish Society of Cinematographers to uncover the secrets behind the Emerald Isle’s quiet success as a shooting location. Elsewhere in this month’s Industry pages, I speak to three key UK studios for a temperature check on the sector. From the growing importance of identity and service to skills challenges and the rise of new content types bringing fresh demands, there’s plenty to unpack – see page 54. This month’s cover story is Caught Stealing , which sees DOP Matthew Libatique reunite with Darren Aronofsky to bring a nostalgic vision of nineties New York to life. Also on the slate, Jo Willems and Francis Lawrence join forces for The Long Walk , leaning into long takes, a seventies look and minimal gear for a stark, unsettling adaptation of Stephen King’s Vietnam War-inspired novel. We also speak to the creatives behind Train Dreams , the new Superman and summer horror hit Weapons , as well as breaking down a standout sequence from action-comedy sequel Nobody 2 . On the tech side, we look at the cine tools bringing a filmic look to live sports coverage,
examine the environmental cost (and possible benefits) of AI in VFX, and shine a spotlight on the nascent 3D rendering technique Gaussian splatting. Enjoy!
