Join us at PÖFF TV for an engaging conversation between interviewer Milani Perera and John Christian Rosenlund, one of this year’s Frame Within a Frame mentors.
Rosenlund is one of Norway’s most experienced cinematographers, with a career spanning more than four decades. He began as an actor before moving into documentary and music video production, later establishing himself in feature films. His work reflects a consistent pursuit of visual authenticity, combining artistic sensitivity with technical precision.
He has shot over forty feature films, major television dramas, and hundreds of commercials, collaborating with leading Scandinavian and international directors such as Erik Poppe, Bent Hamer, Per Fly, Roar Uthaug, and Per Olav Sørensen.
With a background that bridges art, technology, and storytelling, Rosenlund has significantly contributed to the creative and technical evolution of the film industry. As the founder of Drylab and Softlights, he has helped modernize film production workflows and lighting design. His active involvement in the FNF and the IMAGO Technical Committee reflects his long-standing dedication to cinematographic craft, ethics, and innovation.
PÖFF TV is a special online festival channel to supplement the film programme, to share the emotions and meanings of the film world and exclusive interviews with festival guests.
PÖFF TV is brought to you by Ruum:um, Photopoint and Co-funded by the European Union.

PÖFF TV ESITLEB: intervjueerija Milani Perera vestleb John Christian Rosenlundiga, ühe tänavuse "Frame Within a Frame" programmi mentoriga.
Rosenlund on üks Norra kogenumaid operaatoreid, kelle karjäär on üle neljakümne aasta pikkune. Rosenlund alustas karjääri näitlejana, liikus edasi dokumentaalide ja muusikavideote maailma ning hetkel tegutseb peamiselt mängufilmidega. Tema tööd iseloomustab pidev visuaalse autentsuse otsing, ühendades endas kunstilist tundlikkust tehnilise täpsusega.
Rosenlund on filminud üle neljakümne mängufilmi, rääkimata telesarjadest ja reklaamidest, teinud koostööd juhtivate Skandinaavia ja rahvusvaheliste režissööridega, nagu Erik Poppe, Bent Hamer, Per Fly, Roar Uthaug ja Per Olav Sørensen.
Kunsti, tehnoloogiat ja loojutustamist ühendav Rosenlund on andnud olulise panuse filmimaailma loomingulisse ja tehnilisse arengusse. Ettevõtete Drylab ja Softlights asutajana on ta aidanud kaasa filmitootmise ja valgustamiskunsti kaasajastamisele. Rosenlundi aktiivne osalus FNF-is ja IMAGO Tehnilises Komitees peegeldab ta pikaajalist pühendumist operaatoritööle ja innovatsioonile.
Lisaks filmifestivali filmiprogrammile linastub internetis PÖFF TV kanal, mis toob teieni eksklusiivsed intervjuud filmitegijatega ja aitab avada filmimaailma telgitaguseid.
PÖFF TV toob teieni Ruum:um, Photopoint ning kaasrahastab Euroopa Liit.
