The Higher Technical Commission for Sound and Images

The jury of the CST artist-technician prize awarded the 2023 prize to Johnnie Burn, sound designer and chief sound editor on Jonathan Glazer’s film The Zone of Interest. His sound design embodies the horror of genocide and questions our humanity. The 2023 jury of the CST Young technician Prize selected Anne-Sophie Delseries, head set designer on the film Marguerite’s Theorem. Thanks to the delicacy of her work, Anne-Sophie Delseries succeeded in giving birth to a third character who is an essential part of the film’s narrative.
