Nilo Zimmermann

A second year cinematography fellow at the American Film Institute, Nilo graduated from Universitat Ramon Llull in Barcelona with a BA on Audiovisual Communication. Previously he sent two summers in New York, at the International Center of Photography and at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. He comes from a stills photography background and has worked as an assistant photographer. He has also worked as a cinematographer on some short films, including CARLOTA, which was ac­cepted into competition at the Sitges Film festival. His philosophy on cinematography is that its aesthet­ic value should always be subordinated to the story; as William Morris once said," Nothing useless can be truly beautiful".
