“Film is a movement.”

Anka Malatynska is renowned for her visionary cinematography which was honored as one of Variety’s 10 Cinematographers to Watch in 2020. Her work is characterized by a profound magical realism that continues to redefine visual storytelling in television. Recently, she partnered with Director Steve Buscemi on his feature film ‘The Listener’, starring Tessa Thompson, which premiered at the Venice International Film Festival.

Anka’s deeply grounded cinematography elevated Tessa Thompson’s incredible solo performance in the film.Known for her dark and elegant style, Anka lensed HBO Max’s “Pretty Little Liars original Sin”, Hulu’s “Kindred”, and “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” Her versatility is evident whether capturing darkness and tension or exploring underwater and sunlit environments.

Anka’s latest collaboration with prolific director John Wells exemplifies her ability to skillfully juxtapose natural beauty with the gritty realities faced by characters, as seen in her evocative portrayal of mythical monsters in “Monsterland.” Her talent for blending innovation with emotional depth solidifies her position as a leading force in cinematic artistry. Born in Poland and raised as a global nomad, she fondly recalls early memories of National Geographic magazines that ignited her curiosity about the broader world. Her father, a Himalayan mountain climber, provided her with a rich tapestry of ideas and images despite the constraints of their environment.
