Ruben Impens doesn’t shy away from taking risks when looking through his camera lens. Over the last decade the Belgian cinematographer, born in Gent, has been working on numerous acclaimed movies worldwide.

Even though classified as an Italian film in competition for the Palme d'Or, Le Otto Montagne (The Eight Mountains) was made by a team of Belgian filmmakers, including celebrated cinematographer Ruben Impens who received a nomination here only last year for Titane. HFPA reporter Greet Ramaekers caught up with him on the Rue d'Antibes in Cannes.
