He also shares an update on the planned European Film Center Camerimage, a cultural center that will be built in host city Toru\u0144.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Planning for the center began in 2019, when \u017bydowicz signed an agreement with the Polish state and Toru\u0144 government. Construction\u2014representing an investment of PLN 600 million (roughly $128.9 million)\u2014is slated to begin next year and expected to be completed by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u017bydowicz says the center will include a main screening room with seating for roughly 1,500, as well as three 200-300 seat screening rooms. \u201cThere will be areas for exhibitions, there will be areas for education,\u201d he adds, nothing that the project also would include a 500-square meter soundstage for production (including an LED wall for virtual production) and postproduction facilities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Three decades ago when he was hatching the idea for the festival, \u017bydowicz reached out to influential cinematographers Vittorio Storaro and the late Sven Nykvist for support. \u201cIn that time people were connecting each other by faxes, and so I sent faxes to both of them,\u201d he remembers. \u201cAnd funny enough, both replies came in by fax one after another in the same minute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    At the debut Camerimage, Nykvist received the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Storaro served as jury chair, awarding the first Golden Frog to Stuart Dryburgh for his lensing of Jane Campion\u2019s <em>The Piano<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u017bydowicz says that in the fax messages, he promised to \u201ccreate a place that concerns the images and the creators of images\u2014the\u00a0 cinematographers\u2014who are [not always] being treated as artists. Our aim is to change the [perception] of the cinematographer \u2026 so people understand that the work they are doing is a piece of art.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    He says that in Poland, authorship rights for cinematographers\u2019 work is today treated more or less the same as they would for a director or composer, meaning, \u201cyou can\u2019t change the image without their <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roval\u201d and the cinematographer also is eligible to collect residuals. But he adds that this isn\u2019t the case in most countries: \u201cWe believe they should be treated as artists. Especially now, when the image could be changed in every way through postproduction in the digital world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Over the years, the festival has expanded in scope. Describing filmmaking as \u201cteamwork,\u201d \u017bydowicz says, \u201cwe\u2019ve always been trying to invite [other disciplines including] directors, production designers, set designers, editors.\u201d Honorees this week include cinematographer Stephen H. Burum, Lifetime Achievement; Baz Luhrmann, Special Award for Outstanding Director; Alex Gibney, Outstanding Achievement in Documentary Filmmaking; and Sarah Greenwood, Special Award for a Production Designer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Camerimage opens this evening with Roger Deakins-lensed <em>Empire of Light<\/em>, directed by Sam Mendes, who will be on hand to introduce the film and accept the Special Krzysztof Kieslowski Award for a director. <em>Empire of Light <\/em>is among the film\u2019s in the festival\u2019s main competition. A complete list of the competition films can be found here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    This year, the Festival also is showing support for Ukraine, hosting guests from Ukraine\u2019s KINOKO cinematography film festival. \u201cThey\u2019re coming here to talk about their festival, about sharing films and they will do a seminar on cinematographers at war,\u201d \u017bydowicz reports.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
