033: Behind the Lens with Cinematographer Anka Malatynska
09/30/22 • 60 min
American Cinematographer Magazine named Anka Malatynska as one of the “10 Rising Stars of Cinematography 2019."
Variety named her "Top 10 Cinematographers to Watch" in 2020.
She certainly deserves the accolades.
Anka has had an incredible career as a cinematographer, with work including Monsterland, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, and Steve Buscemi's upcoming film, The Listener, starring Tessa Thompson.
Truly a director’s cinematographer, Anka listens to her collaborators with a deep heart and intent, resulting in powerful friendships and collaborations.
Anka has continually sought out and created work that is bold and diverse. She is as adept at leading a hundred-person crew through the monsoon-soaked jungles of South East Asia as she is at cultivating an intimate atmosphere on a three-person documentary shoot. Through her work, she has hobnobbed with dignitaries and diplomats and hung out with East L.A. gangsters. She speaks three languages fluently and is comfortably conversational in half a dozen more, which only enhances Anka’s ability to make absolutely anyone and everyone feel comfortable in front of the lens.
The daughter of a Himalayan mountain climber and Polish immigrant scientist mother, Anka is deeply passionate about living an inspired life. Outside of filmmaking, Anka herself is a mother, a wife, a surfer, a yogi, a traveler, and a purposefully inspiring human being. Usually living in New York and Los Angeles, when she is not on set she spends the majority of the time traveling with her husband and son. For six months during the COVID pandemic in 2020, they resided in Nicaragua.
