What Real Film and Broadcast Projects Have Used ARRI Equipment?

Updated

ARRI's own News & Stories section documents specific film, series, and brand-collaboration projects that used its cameras and lenses. The confirmed examples below come from ARRI's published case coverage: Fjord (ALEXA 35 with Master Anamorphic lenses), Dhurandhar: The Revenge (ALEXA 35 and ALEXA 35 Xtreme), The Beloved (a mix of six ARRI analog and digital cameras), and a co-branded HONOR smartphone project. These are useful if you want to see how ARRI gear is actually deployed on real productions rather than just reading spec sheets.

Film and series projects documented by ARRI

Project Format ARRI equipment used What the case illustrates
Fjord Feature film (Cristian Mungiu, Palme d'Or-winning) ALEXA 35 camera, ARRI Master Anamorphic lenses How a cinematographer shapes a film's visual language with a single camera/lens pairing
Dhurandhar: The Revenge Hindi-language spy-action feature (Aditya Dhar) ALEXA 35 and ALEXA 35 Xtreme Large-scale location work — shot across more than 124 locations
The Beloved Feature film (Rodrigo Sorogoyen, premiered at Cannes and TIFF) Six different ARRI analog and digital cameras Mixing analog and digital bodies to express shifting memory

Fjord — ALEXA 35 and Master Anamorphic

Cinematographer Tudor Vladimir Panduru RSC chose the ALEXA 35 and ARRI Master Anamorphic lenses to shape the visual language of director Cristian Mungiu's Palme d'Or-winning feature. This is the clearest single example of a full ARRI camera-and-lens package on a major festival film.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge — ALEXA 35 and ALEXA 35 Xtreme

Directed by Aditya Dhar, this is the second half of a two-part Hindi-language spy-action saga centered on the Lyari underworld. Cinematographer Vikash Nowlakha ISC used the ALEXA 35 and ALEXA 35 Xtreme across more than 124 locations — a useful reference if you're planning a demanding, multi-location action shoot.

The Beloved — mixing analog and digital

Cinematographer Álex de Pablo, a regular Rodrigo Sorogoyen collaborator and Goya winner for Best Cinematography on The Beasts, combined six different ARRI analog and digital cameras to capture the shifting nature of memory. The film premiered in Cannes' Official Competition and at TIFF. This case is worth studying if a project calls for deliberately varied looks across one story.

Brand and industry collaborations

  • HONOR Magic9 Pro Max: ARRI and HONOR brought professional cinematic imaging to a co-branded smartphone — an example of ARRI imaging know-how extending beyond cinema cameras.
  • ORF and ARRI: the two won the EBU Excellence in Media Award 2026, showing ARRI's involvement in broadcast-side recognition as well as production.

How to verify or find more cases

ARRI's News & Stories page is the primary source for these write-ups, and it is updated regularly (the entries above are dated 2026). If you need a case close to your own project type — documentary, episodic, commercial, or broadcast — browse that section and filter by camera model or production type. Each story typically names the cinematographer, the camera and lens package, and the production context, which is what makes them usable as planning references rather than marketing copy.

One caveat: these are ARRI-published case stories, so they highlight successful deployments. Treat them as evidence of what the equipment can do on real shoots, not as independent comparative reviews.
