The work of cinematographer Jüri Sillart in the context of the visual quest of twentieth-century cinema

Estonian cameraman Jüri Sillart ("Forest Violets", "Dead Mountaineer Hotel", "Requiem", "Swarm", "Stolen Date", "Niepernaadi", etc.) has won many prizes and honourable mentions. He is in constant creative search, he does not rest on his laurels, he does not try to use "tried and tested", successful tricks. Drawing upon traditions of classical camerawork school, Juri Sillart pursues his own original path, characterized by virtuosic mastery of technique, expressive colour expression, organic inclusion into the overall dramatic system of an episode, a scene and a film in general. The authors view Yuri Sillart's work in the context of visual search of cinematography of the XXth century. This book about camerawork is intended for students of media studies at universities of the humanities, as well as for a wide audience interested in the subject of cinematography and camerawork.
