Ricardo Aronovich receives tribute at eDIT

 The second Cinematographer to be awarded the Imago Tribute by his peers was Ricardo Aronovich AFC ADF ABC. Ricardo, responsible for many films in Europe and South America (Missing) is also known as “Mr 5.6” due to his research and writing on the optimum stop for lenses, was amazed to see the Imago trophy in the form of a Spectra Meter was pointing (by complete co-incidence) to 5.6. This Tribute was bestowed by fellow cinematographers in respect and admiration of his contribution to the cinematographic art over many decades.
 

The Cultural Minister for Hessen, Eva Kuhne-Hormann, presented the Imago Tribute in Frankfurt where Imago has concluded a successful second year of collaboration with the 12th eDIT Filmmakers Festival.
 

The AFC provided a distinctive contribution to events with Philippe Ros and Luc Drion entertaining with an insight into their remarkable cinematography on the film Oceans that will launch in Europe in 2010. Above the sea shot on 35mm ,below High Definition.
A French AFC threesome, by another co-incidence also three RA’s, Ricardo Aronovich, Richard Andry and Robert Alazraki gave a distinctive and quirky Gallic exposition of “Day for Night” with illustrations and contradictions to match.
 

Other Imago cinematography events included Wallace and Gromit, introduced by animation cinematographer Dave Alex Riddett and Tom Barnes, Head of Camera at Aardman. Ricardo Aronovich was interviewed by Peter Twiehaus prior to the screening of his film “Klint” : Louis-Philippe Capelle SBC gave an illustrated talk on his recent experiences of shooting the feature “Dictator” in Iraq and his fellow Belgian Kommer Kleijn SBC gave an update on the latest technical specification in Digital Imagery.
