Pierre Angénieux Tribute
A tribute to excellence in cinematography
Angénieux pays tribute to cinematographers at the Festival de Cannes
“… And I wish to say again that Angénieux had a beautiful idea, and that this event has become a rendez-vous to gather and honor one of the great cinematographers. Little by little, this palmares is sketching another map of world cinema, another “Map of the Stars” — the great stars of cinema lighting. The Cannes Festival is therefore very pleased to partner this award.”
