The Australian Cinematographers Society regrets the sad passing of former Federal President Milton Brian Ingerson OAM ACS.
Milton has had a long association with the ACS. In 1980 Milton was one of the main shakers in a move to re-establish a South Australian Branch of the Australian Cinematographers Society and in 1982 was elected the second President of the new State Branch. Later that year he also became an Accredited Member (No. 127).
Since then he worked continuously as an active and innovative Vice President of the SA Committee. All this was warmly recognised in 1987 when he was awarded the first life membership of the ACS South Australian Branch.
In 1991, Milton was elected Federal President and served the Society in this capacity for a record 12 years. Milton?s 40 year contribution to the Australian Film Industry was recognised in the 2002 Australia Day Honours when he was awarded an Order of Australia Medal.
