	An interview with Henri Alekan
		Born in Paris in 1909, Henri Alekan had participated in the production of a number of masterpieces of French cinema, such as Marcel Carné's Le Quai des Brumes (1938), René Clément's La Bataille du rail (1946), and Jean Cocteau's La Belle et la Bête (1946).
		Alekan is also the author of an extraordinary book on the nature of light in the cinema and in painting, Des lumières et des ombres, the most recent edition of which was published in Paris in 1991 by la Librairie du Collectionneur.
		In reference works on film, Alekan is typically described as follows: "He is one of France's most reliable cinematographers, adapting his style to the needs of the script and the director and always capturing the essence of a location" (Ephraïm Katz, The Film Encyclopedia).

	Henri Alekan: Master of Light and Shadow
		This past summer at his home in Paris, the legendary cinematography Henri Alekan died at age 92, leaving behind one of the most distinctive bodies of work in the history of the medium.
		Alekan would continue an active career into his eighties and earned his greatest recognition for his work on Wim Wender’s Wings of Desire, when he was seventy-eight years old.
		Aided by Alekan’s haunting, mostly monochromatic images, Wenders creates a spiritual documentary of the city and a haunting portrait of what it means to be human.

	Obit: Poet of Light
		French cinematographer Henri Alekan, whose seven-decade-long, 130-film career included collaborations with directors Jean Cocteau, Rene Clement, Julien Duvivier, Marcel Carne, William Wyler, Abel Gance, Jules Dassin, Joseph Losey, and Wim Wenders, died June 15 at age 92.
		Often referred to as the Poet of Light, Alekan's most famous credits are probably Cocteau's 1946 Beauty and the Beast and Wenders' 1987 Wings of Desire, but his work encompassed a range of styles and genres, and even some lighting design outside the motion picture realm.
		Directly after the war, the DP made a double mark with Beauty and the Beast and Clement's The Battle of the Rails, which were in very different styles: the former was a magical fairy tale with impressionistic lighting effects, while the latter was closer to the neo-realist school.

		Damiel visits the Circus Alekan three times -- and once visits its site after its departure.
		Beyond being a sort of tribute to Henri Alekan, naming the circus after the film's director of photography, it is another instance in which Wenders breaks down the barriers between the film's world and the viewer's realm.
		The attentive viewer is reminded, upon seeing the sign "Circus Alekan" that she is watching a film shot by Henri Alekan (photographer of Cocteau's La Belle et la Bête).

		At some point during my education, I had the luck and great pleasure to study under the guidance of famous french Director of Photography Henri Alekan ("Beauty and the Beast",1946; "The state of things"; "Wings of desire"...) It was a formidable experience learning from him.
		All he did was try to convey what he called his "philosophie de la lumière".
		Henri Alekan was merely explaining the "reasons" for his choices and decisions, but little did he care to let us know about how he achieved these results.

		Unable to control his attraction for Martine, Charles makes her is mistress, and then contrives for her to have a room in his own home...
		This early film from Henri Verneuil is one of many fruitful collaborations involving the director and the great French comic actor Fernandel.
		Despite this, the film manages to hold the audience’s attention, partly because of the imaginative photography but mainly because of Françoise Arnoul’s delightfully seductive performance.

		This special edition DVD puts the film in the best possible light, doing justice to Henri Alekan's stunning cinematography, particularly the exquisitely gradated fl and white sequences which in movie theaters were bathed in a bluish tint.
		The extras here are often as heartfelt as the movie, providing insight into the Cold War history of Berlin, and chronicling the organic evolution of this haunting film.
		The fragile nature of this enterprise is epitomized by a story about the famed Alekan, who used a filter he made by hand in the 1930s from his grandmother's silk stocking to create Wings Of Desire's distinctive glow.
