Episode #110

Crimes of the Future / Douglas Koch, CSC 

In this episode, cinematographer Douglas Koch, CSC talks about his work on David Cronenberg’s dystopian drama Crimes of the Future. The film marks Cronenberg’s return to science-fiction storytelling after a 23-year absence, but, as Koch points out, the director’s signature style remains the same. (A version of this interview with additional technical information will appear in the October 2022 issue of AC.)
