Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things will be the opening night film at the 31st edition of EnergaCamerimage, the international cinematography film festival.
At Camerimage, Poor Things will also screen as part of the main competition. The film, which received the Golden Lion last month at the Venice Film Festival, stars Emma Stone (who also produced), Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo. Searchlight Pictures plans to release the awards contender on Dec. 8.
Poor Things cinematographer Robbie Ryan will introduce the film at the festival. Lanthimos and Ryan previously collaborated on The Favourite, which in 2018 was awarded Camerimage’s Audience Award.
Camerimage runs from Nov. 11-18 in Torun, Poland. As previously announced, British DP Peter Biziou, who was Oscar-nominated for Mississippi Burning, is scheduled to accept the festival’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Peter Zeitlinger and helmer Werner Herz are slated to be honored with the cinematographer-director duo award.
