For the 12th year, Angénieux will pay tribute to a leading name in photography during an exceptional evening opened by Thierry Frémaux, Delegate General of the Cannes Film Festival and presented by French journalist Charlotte Lipinska.
An official partner of the Cannes Film Festival since 2013, the Pierre Angénieux ceremony, is a unique event during which world-leading image experts – without whom cinema would not exist – are highlighted and celebrated. This year’s award will honour an Australian cinematographer.
Born on May 18, 1968, in Brisbane (Queensland, Australia), Dion Beebe is considered as one of the most talented cinematographers of his generation. He is known for his use of stylised, highly saturated colour palettes and his experimental approach to high-speed digital video.
He has collaborated seven times with Rob Marshall, twice with Jane Campion, and twice with Michael Mann (Collateral and Miami Vice).
Winner of numerous awards over the past thirty years; he received the Academy Award for Best Cinematography and a BAFTA in the same category for his work on Rob Marshall’s Memoirs of a Geisha in 2006.
