Christopher Doyle

About

 Christopher Doyle is one of the greatest cinematographers with 60 awards and 30 nominations from film festivals around the world. Among those titles, he’s received the Grand Technical Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, as well as the Osella d’Oro for Best Cinematography for ASHES OF TIME at the Venice International Film Festival. Doyle left his native Sydney beach culture for a Norwegian merchant ship at the age of 18. His subsequent experience as a Kibbutz-nick cowboy in Israel, quack doctor in Thailand, and “green agriculturalist” in India, inform but don’t explain his work. In the late seventies, Doyle was “re-birthed” as Du Ke Feng, which means “like the wind.”

Since his “birth in art,” Du Ke Feng has realized over fifty Chinese-language films including CHUNGKING EXPRESS, TEMPTRESS MOON, HERO, HAPPY TOGETHER, DUMPLINGS, 2046, and more. His alter ego Christopher Doyle has made more than twenty in various other languages and film cultures including PSYCHO, LIBERTY HEIGHTS, LAST LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE, RABBIT-PROOF FENCE, PARANOID PARK, THE LIMITS OF CONTROL, etc. He also wrote, shot, and directed the feature films WARSAW DARK, AWAY WITH WORDS, HONG KONG TRILOGY, and co-directed THE WHITE GIRL with longtime collaborator Jenny Suen.
