Samsung teams up with award-winning director Charlie Kaufman to showcase the Galaxy’s epic camera experience – Samsung Global Newsroom

Filmed #withGalaxy meets a world famous filmmaker enjoying Galaxy’s best Nightography

Samsung Electronics today announced its partnership with Oscar-winning writer and director Charlie Kaufman, showing how anyone can shoot and share spectacular movies with Galaxy’s superior camera experience.

best known for Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and Synecdoche, New York, Kaufman took advantage of the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s shooting capabilities to create a visual art short with beautiful, crystal-clear detail. The film, titled jackals and fireflies, is based on a poem by Eva HD, who plays the role of poet, narrator and lead actor in this unique Kaufmanesque love letter to New York. Galaxy S22 Ultra’s Nightography enabled famed cinematographer Chayse Irvin to effectively capture New York’s famous night scenes, revealing the city to viewers as if they were witnessing it with their own eyes. Kaufman found shooting with Galaxy to be an “effective approach” to bringing the film to life and is very pleased with the end result, adding that “the finished product is beautiful”.

The partnership builds on the Filmed #withGalaxy campaign, which invites visionary filmmakers to demonstrate that the Galaxy S series is the perfect tool they need to share their epic stories with the world. In October 2021, world-renowned British director Joe Wright used the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s 13mm ultra-wide lens to shoot his short film Princess and Peppernose. In November 2021, up-and-coming Chinese director Sha Mo used the Galaxy S21 Ultra to capture the visually stunning children of paradise.

Where to see jackals and fireflies

jackals and fireflies will be unveiled exclusively at the Galaxy Experience Space in San Francisco with the Galaxy Unpacked event on February 1. Kaufman will also premiere the film at a later date in New York.

Samsung will continue to set epic standards for the smartphone experience during Galaxy Unpacked, with camera capabilities at the forefront of new high-end Galaxy innovations.
