The question I got asked over and over again is, \u2018Is this relevant?\u2019 I\u2019m afraid to say, it is and it will always be. We stand with everyone in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    He acknowledged the cinematographers with whom he has worked, starting with the late Hall, who won Oscars for Mendes\u2019 first two <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>, <em>American Beauty<\/em> and <em>Road to Perdition <\/em>(posthumously). \u201cConrad was my guide, and ever since Conrad, cinematographers always have been my guide,\u201d he said to <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>lause.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Mendes has worked with Deakins for the past 15 years and said that partnership \u201chas given me more pleasure and more joy than any collaboration that I ever had in movies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Accepting his award, the director also cited his latest film, the Deakins-lensed, cinema-set <em>Empire of Light<\/em>. \u201cOn the wall of the cinema, right at the beginning of the film, is written, \u2018Find Where Light in Darkness Lies.\u2019 That is all of our jobs. It\u2019s the work of the cinematographer, and it my great pleasure to have shed some tiny light in the dark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Filmmaker Alex Gibney was honored with the award for outstanding achievement in documentary filmmaking, and Ulrike Ottinger accepted the Award for Avant Garde Achievements in Film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cWhat\u2019s so important about Camerimage, is the notion that cinematographers and filmmakers are doing their best to try to bring light to this world,\u201d Gibney said. \u201cThe world can be a devastating and dangerous place. A lot of my films I\u2019ve spent looking at abuses of power, but also, I think in a more important way, looking at the everyday heroes who rise up and oppose those abuses of power. So it was particularly important for me to be here this year, in Poland, when we\u2019re so close to Ukraine, when people are fighting\u00a0for liberty and life for us all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    This week, Camerimage is supporting two Ukraine-based film festivals that have been displaced by the war: The OKO\u00a0International Ethnographic<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Film Festival\u00a0and KINOKO Film Festival. \u201cPlease help Ukraine to win in every way possible,\u201d urged a tearful Tetiana Stanieva, founder\u00a0of the OKO Festival. \u201cOur economy and way of life has stopped. We lose our dreams. \u2026 We lose beloved ones.\u201d This portion of the program included a video featuring filmmakers who joined the Ukraine military.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The opening ceremony included reflection on Camerimage\u2019s 30-year history. Said festival director Marek \u017bydowicz: \u201cIt\u2019s important to remember when the sky over Poland was red, such meetings were not possible. \u2026 Things have not changed in some ways. We have to keep fighting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    He also talked about how early involvement of influential cinematographers Vittorio Storaro and the late Sven Nykvist was instrumental in getting the event started. In doing so, they honored cinematographer and former Nykvist collaborator Lukasz Bielan as a \u201cfriend of the festival.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    To honor Camerimage, Toru\u0144 Mayor Michal Zaleski was on hand to present the Medal of the President of Toru\u0144 to \u017bydowicz and festival manager Kazik Suwala.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    During the opening ceremony, the competition films and juries were featured. The main competition jury is chaired by multihyphenate Lech Majewski and includes producer Fred Berger, cinematographer Marcus F\u00f6rderer, cinematographer Arthur Reinhart and production designer Jan Roelfs. <em>Black Panther: Wakanda Forever<\/em> cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw is TV competition jury chair, and <em>Elvis<\/em> DP Mandy Walker chairs the jury for the student competition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The opening-night film, <em>Empire of Light<\/em>, followed the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The festival runs through Nov. 19.<\/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.
