It gives me great pleasure to share that eight films by my friend and colleague Sophy Romvari have begun streaming for a limited time on the Criterion Channel.
Sophy is a longtime friend and collaborator - we both began our professional careers in the same community of Vancouver independent filmmakers. I had the privilege of working on her debut short film Nine Behind (2016) as a camera operator, and produced her follow-up It’s Him (2017). Both films are included in the selection on the Channel.
To mark the occasion of this recognition of Sophy’s work, I have written an essay reflecting on what her work means to me, particularly as a filmmaker. You can find it at The Vocation of Cinema.
Finally, I highly recommend watching the films in chronological order of making, and then listening to a special commentary miniseries produced by the Film Formally Podcast. You can start with the first commentary here.
Congratulations, Sophy! Onwards and upwards.
