Speaking about the nominations, jury president Lawrence Sher, ASC said: “The diversity of talent and work is, as expected, very high. Our jury meetings so far, with talented cinematographers, colourists and filmmakers, have illuminated how fundamental the colourists’ work is in the film-making process and it’s been a complex job to determine the nominees. Everyone that has made it through these early rounds has, in our eyes, already won. I am looking forward to Camerimage where we will celebrate and announce the winners.”
The winners will be announced at the annual FilmLight Colour Awards ceremony which takes place at EnergaCAMERIMAGE in Poland on 12th November 2023.
