Director and Cinematographer have a close relation during
a shooting. That always happens even when the relation occurs
to be a distant one (for some reason) because at the end
of the day what the spectator sees has a lot of
both. Being so, CAMERIMAGE's Director-Cinematographer award
has been created and it is one of the most celebrated awards
in Cinematography. European Film Awards 2007 |
