Widely celebrated as one of Australia’s most accomplished cinematographers, Mandy Walker has brought her visionary eye to films ranging from intimate Australian stories like Lantana and Tracks, to international blockbusters such as Mulan, Hidden Figures, Elvis, and Snow White. 


Mandy will take audiences behind the camera, breaking down key scenes from her diverse body of work. From the challenges of small-budget Australian productions to the scale and spectacle of major studio projects, she will share insights into her creative process, collaborations with directors, and the technical innovations that have defined her career.
