The intimacy coordinator role is still new on film sets around the world. Learning about what and how they do is beneficial for any size production.
One of the most popular seminars during this year’s CAMERIMAGE Film Festival in Poland was “Scene-setting for Intimacy: A Discussion on Female Perspective.”
Hosted by Carmen Vaya Albert, the panel included intimacy coordinator Katarzyna Szustow and cinematographers Ita Zbroniec-Zajt, Piotr Śliskowski, Katja Rivas Pinzon, and Julia Geiss.
They started by discussing what should be obvious to filmmakers these days—the fact that intimate scenes require extra attention and a careful approach. There’s no place for the unexpected here. Everything should be discussed and everyone needs to be on the same page before filming.
Everything should be rehearsed before calling action. It’s a choreography, and even a camera operator is part of it.
