Conceived by artist and filmmaker Margaret Salmon this publication is a tribute to a group of
innovative sister cinematographas and to the analogue motion picture camera. The book pairs an
enquiry into women's filmmaking practice with a comprehensive survey of experimental analogue
technique across generations. Nine filmmakers - Peggy Ahwesh Betzy Bromberg Rose Lowder
Babette Mangolte Rhea Storr Deborah Stratman Alia Syed Malena Szlam and Salmon herself
speak about the ways they use and think about their cameras sharing technical knowledge and
reflections on camera work to reveal their creative philosophies and intentions. Included with
the book is a separate manual: An Artists' Guide to Analogue Cinematography. This learning
pamphlet was written and photographed by Salmon and includes step by step instructions to the
loading and basic use of three cine cameras. Text: Betzy Bromberg Rose Lowder Babette
