Michelangelo Buffa (Brusson, 1948) is difficult to pigeonhole. Cinephile, cri- tic, cinematographer, teacher, documentary maker and above all “filmeur” (as he likes to define himself). In the mix since the 60s, Michelangelo has firmly propounded his vision of film: founded on absolute freedom, wary of convention and with an all-consuming dedication to the experimental.
