Franc Biffone

I’m an internationally recognised Australian Director of Photography and Camera Operator, who has lensed a diverse range of narrative films, documentaries, commercials and music videos.

As a Cinematographer, I love working with other creatives to bring their visions and stories to life. I’m passionate about using creative colour and lighting techniques to evoke emotion and convey narrative and character arcs. Equally happy on large international productions and small independent shoots, I bring a calm, collaborative and can-do approach to every set.

My latest film release, BODY BLOW - a queer crime neo-noir - screened at more than 40 international film festivals to critical acclaim. Other recent film projects include CURLS, an innovative feature about a woman navigating perimenopause, which is currently in postproduction in LA. A previous narrative short, The Wilding, won the coveted Iris Prize (the world’s largest queer film prize). Recent documentary projects include ACTA-nominated But Also John Clarke, while a career highlight is working for Bud Greenspan on OLYMPICS SYDNEY 2000. Recent operating credits include The Big Fix (DP Lawrence Sher), Colin from Accounts, Last Days of the Space Age, Year of and Australian Gangster.

My work has been acknowledged by awards at numerous film festivals, including Berlin, Canada, Chicago, New York, Sydney Mardi Gras, and Sydney Film Festivals. I have also received eight Australian Cinematography Society (ACS) awards, including three gold, and two Gold Promax awards.
