"I am rooting for Chris Nolan because he is the advocate for photochemical film in Hollywood. Oppenheimer is entirely shot on photochemical film; he shoots real effects and that is why they're more embedded in the film. He did the atomic explosions photochemically; he did it with frame rate and in miniature. He's very technical," Dean tells The Art Newspaper.
Dean continues to be a passionate and dedicated campaigner for the continued production and use of chemical film in the face of digitalisation. FILM (2011), the first moving image commission for Tate Modern's Turbine Hall, was her silent celebration of the masterful techniques of analogue film-making. Her most recent analogue film piece, Geography Biography (2023), was shown at the Bourse de Commerce (Pinault Collection) in Paris last year.
