Camerimage Meets With Roughly 50 Cinematographer Group Reps To Discuss Inclusion


Camerimage reps on Thursday meet with roughly 50 cinematographer group reps to discuss inclusion.

An estimated 55 delegates from various women’s and cinematographer organizations around the world participated in a two-hour meeting on Thursday with EnergaCamerimage representatives, for what was described as a private forum to voice views and ideas as a step toward continued discussion and a goal of addressing diversity, inclusion and representation at the annual cinematography film festival. The outcry heightened roughly a week before the opening ceremony when festival director Marek Zydowicz wrote a column published in Cinematography World magazine, which appeared to suggest that having greater representation of women DPs and directors in the event’s selection could lead to the inclusion of “mediocre film productions.” On Tuesday, a festival panel with participants included Cate Blanchett, this year’s main competition jury president, and cinematographer Mandy Walker discussed diversity and inclusion.
