CAMERIMAGE, the international film festival of the art of cinematography, is here again.
The opening night started with a gala followed by a screening of Empire of Light.
The festival takes place in the birth city of Nicolaus Copernicus, Toruń. It’s not a big city, but it’s visited by over 2 million tourists a year and definitely one of the most beautiful in Poland.
Throughout the years the festival has attracted not only the best cinematographers in the world but also actors and directors. The list of past guests includes (amongst many others) Denis Villeneuve, Roger Deakins, Joel Cohen, Viggo Mortensen, Oliver Stone, Edward Norton, Jessica Lange, David Lynch, and Quentin Tarantino.
Before the screening of Empire of Light, Sam Mendes received the Krzysztof Kieślowski Award for his directorial achievements. Kieślowski is one of the most well-known Polish directors with his tryptic Three Colors and his series Dekalog.
