Alan Besedin of IronGlass: Shaping the Future by Reclaiming the Past

Om avsnittet

In an age of pristine, digitally clinical imagery, cinematographers are increasingly drawn to imperfection—the swirl of a bokeh, the dreamlike haze of vintage glass. The Soviet-era lenses that once defined an era of photography are experiencing a rebirth through IronGlass, a Ukrainian company turning vintage optics into modern cinema glass. Hosts Peter Pascucci and Ava Benjamin Shorr sit down with Alan Besedin to discuss how IronGlass, despite the challenges of war and supply shortages, has built a dedicated following. From their early rehousings to supplying lenses for The Batman and Dune: Part Two, the conversation explores how artistry, resilience, and innovation converge in the pursuit of the perfect image.
