Was just checking the Cannes Film Festival Website (was going to to go but couldn't get a hotel that wasn't a million miles outside the centre, anyhoo . . . ) The press kit for CHE is available, there are a few pics on there but none in th kit-- its a nice read -- a lot of info about the film and Che Guevara. Just thought id let you guys know.

Steven Soderbergh as Peter Andrews, Cinematographer, CHE (2008).

Also:

"One way that the production was able to cut down on
time was through Soderbergh’s use of an innovative new
camera: the RED. Initially they had hoped to be able to
use it, but the camera wasn’t available on time. Recalls
Bickford, “We had a very happy accident because our
Spanish work papers and visas hadn’t come through on
schedule. Steven and Benicio and I were grounded in Los
Angeles for a week and that week they called to say the
prototype was ready.”

The RED camera is a high performance digital cine camera
with the quality of 35mm film and convenience of pure
digital. The body was designed for flexibility and
functionality. It’s a streamlined package and weighs
around 9 lbs.

“Shooting with RED is like hearing The Beatles for the
first time,” says Soderbergh. “RED sees the way I see.
Someday I hope to find out exactly how they made
something so technologically advanced seem so organic,
so beautifully attuned to that most natural of phenomena
- light. But for now I’m just glad I’ve got my hands on it
because it actually made the films better.”
