"Shot with ALEXA Mini LF, Signature Primes (18 mm I 25 mm I 35 mm I 47 mm I 75 mm | 95 mm | 125 mm), Signature Zooms (16-32 mm I 65-300 mm), and Impression V Filters (140P I 230P I 330P).
""The Impression V Filters, with the Signature lens series, gave me unprecedented control over the final image's optical characteristics, including edge sharpness and bokeh. I was able to paint and add a dreamlike quality; it was fascinating to see how the combination of filter strength, focal length, focus distance, and aperture values affected the image."" - DP Manu Anand
“The Impressionists” is a short film series commissioned by ARRI for the launch of the Impression V Filters.
The film pays homage to the legendary Indian classical vocalist Ustad Abdul Karim Khan and his soul-stirring performance of “Raga Jhinjoti Piya Bin Nahin Aavat Chain” (“Without My Beloved, There is No Peace”), originally recorded in the 1920s. Amidst beautiful trees, an Odissi dancer elegantly moves to the captivating melody, fully immersed in its emotional power.
