Alexis Krasilovsky is currently directing "WOMEN BEHIND THE CAMERA" , a documentary about women cinematographers from around the world: the pioneers who were the first to film from mountaintops, from helicopters, in war zones, underwater, and on Hollywood sets--and the new generation of camerawomen who are achieving their visions now.
Many of the camerawomen interviewed in the companion book, "WOMEN BEHIND THE CAMERA: CONVERSATIONS WITH CAMERAWOMEN" have won Emmy's, Cannes Film Festival Camera d'Or's, and other awards: the technical level of their footage--ranging from "SALAAM BOMBAY" to "HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS"--will prove to be superb.
Winning the Roy W. Dean 2000 Video Award really set us in motion. We've filmed award-winning Canadian camerawomen, and we've begun to interview some of the pioneers in Hollywood. We have been to France to interview Agnes Varda. Women are mobilizing to collect spectacular footage and record the challenging issues of camerawomen's lives in Afghanistan, England, Japan, Mexico, New York, South Korea, and all over the world.

"If I put so much importance in the images of the film, it's because I love images. This work of being a cinematographer is for me a fabulous job."
