The 34th Camerimage International Film Festival of the Art of Cinematography closed in Toruń, Poland, on Saturday evening, November 14, with cinematographer Łukasz Żal winning the Golden Frog, the festival's top prize, for the film Fatherland, directed by Paweł Pawlikowski. IndieWire reported the result on November 14.
Camerimage is an international festival devoted entirely to cinematography, and its main competition honors feature films in which the image significantly contributes to the storytelling. This year's edition ran from November 7 to 14, with 15 films competing in the main competition.
The main competition jury was led by jury president Joe Walker, the Oscar-winning editor of Dune, Arrival and 12 Years a Slave.
Fatherland is a black-and-white drama set in 1949 Germany, exploring the relationship between author Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika, with Hanns Zischler and Sandra Hüller in the lead roles. The film recently received 11 nominations at the European Film Awards, the most of any film this year.
