Lecture: Cinematic Storytelling - with Giulia Gartner

📍 Location: Kamera Express Rotterdam
📅 Date: Saturday, July 4th
🕐 Time: 10:00 - 12:00

🇬🇧 This lecture is given in English.

How do you turn a single image into a story that moves people? Giulia Gartner, photographer and filmmaker based in the Dolomites, has spent her career answering exactly that question. Creating cinematic visual stories for global brands such as Canon, New Balance and Porsche, as well as tourism boards in Greenland, Switzerland and Indonesia, Giulia works at the intersection of documentary honesty and atmospheric, emotion-driven imagery. During this lecture, she opens up about her creative process, her visual language and what it means to truly connect with a place before picking up your camera.

Growing up in the Dolomites, Giulia developed a deep sensitivity to light, weather and the natural world from an early age. That connection continues to shape how she sees and tells stories today, both in commissioned work and personal films. In this talk, she shares how she translates the experience of being in a vast, remote environment into images that feel present, emotional and cinematic.
