Anemone, the directorial debut of Ronan Day-Lewis, featuring the return to the big screen of his three-time Oscar-winning father Daniel Day-Lewis, will open this years Camerimage film festival, the worlds leading fest devoted to the art of cinematography.

Daniel Day-Lewis plays Ray, a hermit who has spent the last 20 years away from humanity, in a cabin deep in the woods, nursing the trauma he suffered as a child. His solitude is interrupted by the arrival of his brother Jem (Sean Bean), who is looking for a connection with his son Brian (Samuel Bottomley), and seeking Rays help. Anemone premiered at the New York Film Festival, where it was praised by The Hollywood Reporters chief reviewer David Rooney, for Day-Lewiss riveting performance and the stunning visuals of Cinematographer Ben Fordesman, whose arresting widescreen images of the Northern English landscapes and dense woodlands create a sweeping canvas.

Anemone exemplifies the kind of filmmaking that defines the spirit of EnergaCAMERIMAGE, the festival said in a statement. Cinema where image and emotion intertwine to create a profound artistic experience.
