British Society of Cinematographers

Preserving the vision

The British Society of Cinematographers is an educational, social and professional organisation. Since its formation more than 70 years ago in 1949 by Bert Easey - then head of the Denham and Pinewood studio camera departments - its prime objective has been to promote and encourage the highest standards in the art and craft of cinematography.

The stated objectives at the formation of the BSC were:

• To promote and encourage the pursuit of the highest standards in the craft of Motion Picture Photography
• To further the applications by others of the highest standards in the craft of Motion Picture Photography and to encourage original and outstanding work
• To co-operate with all whose aims and interests are wholly or in part related to those of the society
• To provide facilities for social intercourse between the members and arrange lectures, debates and meetings calculated to further the objects of the Society

It's membership, which is by invitation only, comprises of more than 200 of the most talented Directors of Photography and Camera Operators in the United Kingdom. It also encompasses many distinguished friends and patrons from the film and television industry.
