Hannes Schulze
Freelance Cinematographer for documentary and fiction. Based in Berlin.
From 2015 I studied camera at the self-organized
Filmarche.
Currently I am camera student at the
German Film and Television Academy Berlin (dffb).
Since February 2021 I'm the Co-Founder of
redgreenfilms, where you can find my commercial work.
Spontaneous, instinctive finding of pictures has a charm for me just like the elaborate staging of live action films. I am particularly interested in the in-between.
I aim to collaborate with individuals who recognize and challenge patriarchal, misogynistic, classist, homophobic, transphobic, and racist narratives and practices in filmmaking, and who are committed to exploring new approaches to transform them.
