Member LoginACS Congratulates the 2010 National Award Winners
2 May 2010
Cinematographers from around the nation gathered at the ANZ Pavilion, Victorian Arts Centre on Saturday May 1 for the 2010 Australian Cinematographers Society National Awards. These are the peak awards that celebrate the art of moving image photography in Australia.
The ceremony saw the presentation of awards in eighteen categories, including 16 Golden Tripods. It also saw three members - David Burr ACS, David Lewis ACS and Howard Rubie ACS - inducted into the ACS Hall of Fame.
Special awards on the night included the prestigious Milli Award for Australian Cinematographer of the Year, the International Cinematographer of the Year Award and the ACS-NFSA John Leake OAM ACS Award to an Emerging Cinematographer.
The Milli Award went to Andrew Commis ACS, for his work on Beautiful Kate, for which he was also awarded a Golden Tripod in the Feature Film category.
The International Award for Cinematography was accepted via video by Robert Richardson ASC for the film Inglourious Basterds.
The winner of the inaugural ACS-NFSA John Leake OAM ACS Award to an Emerging Cinematographer was Kirsty Stark from SA. She plans to use the $5000 cash prize towards a project that will enable her, along with another emerging SA cinematographer, Vivyan Madigan, to develop their skills working with 16mm film as opposed to digital formats.
A full list of winners is also available on the Australian Cinematographers Society website: http://www.cinematographer.org.au/awards/national/2010/winners
For the first time, the awards will be screened this year on the Movie Network Channel on May 19th.
