47th Manaki Brothers Festival in Bitola: Dan Laustsen Receives Lifetime Achievement Award
The 47th Manaki Brothers International Cinematographers' Film Festival was held in Bitola, North Macedonia. According to an event review published by British Cinematographer on November 14, all of this year's major achievement awards were presented during the opening ceremony on Saturday evening.
Cinematographer Dan Laustsen received the Lifetime Achievement Award. Two Special Golden Camera 300 awards for Outstanding Contribution to World Cinema went to Jeff Cronenweth, this year's official laureate, and to Janusz Kamiński, who won the award six years earlier but, because of the pandemic, had not been able to collect it until now. Festival director Dimitrija Doksevski is serving his second term in the role.
In the competition, the Golden Camera 300 went to Łukasz Żal for Fatherland, and the Silver Camera 300 went to Zhongjiang Liang for A Girl Unknown. The documentary category ended in a tie, with Benjamín Echazarreta winning for Krakatoa and Maxime Kathari for The Beauty of the Donkey.
The Manaki Brothers festival, now in its 47th edition, is dedicated to the art of cinematography.
