Antione Vivas Denisov

Of Venezuelan and Russian descent, Antoine Vivas Denisov spent his youth between Caracas and Moscow. His early interest in photography led Antoine to pursue a degree in Cinematography from the Polish National Film School while also obtaining a degree in Film History and Theory from the University of Lodz. His work as a cinematographer began with several short films, including Evi Karampatsou’s Nuestra Señora de los Perros, which was awarded the 2000 National Prize of Greece. During this time he also worked on the Cuban docudrama El Porvenir de una Illusion, which received several film festival awards at Mannheim, Sao Paolo, Greece and Norway. Antoine’s first feature film Amor en Concreto, which he also co-wrote with Franco de Peña and Tomasz Kempski, won Best Original Screenplay at the Festival of Latin American Cinema in Huelva, Spain. Since then Antoine has shot four U.S. features including Road by award-winning director Leslie McCleave and Choking Man by Steve Barron.
