Here’s a bunch of memories from 2019, when we re

Here’s a bunch of memories from 2019, when we returned to Toruń after many years, to hold the 27th edition of EnergaCAMERIMAGE 🐸

The honorary guest of EnergaCAMERIMAGE 2019, awarded with the Lifetime Achievement Golden Frog, was cinematographer ✨John Bailey✨ who in 2017-2019 was the president of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).

The Main Competition Frogs went to:

➡️ Golden Frog: Lawrence Sher for "Joker" (dir. Todd Phillips)
➡️ Silver Frog: César Charlone for "The Two Popes" (dir. Fernando Meirelles)
➡️ Bronze Frog: Vladimír Smutný for "The Painted Bird" (dir. Václav Marhoul)

27. EnergaCAMERIMAGE, you could meet 👉Peter Greenaway, Helena Třeštíková, Jan Roelfs, Richard Gere, Edward Norton, Danny DeVito, Robert Richardson and Quentin Tarantino, Josh Hartnett, Darren Aronofsky, Caleb Deschanel, Julio Macat, Elen Lotman, Natasha Braier, Alik Sakharov, Agnieszka Holland, Paweł Edelman, Bradford Young, Carol Littleton, Phedon Papamichael, Dick Pope, Rodrigo Prieto, Vittorio Storaro and many others.

That year's accompanying event was the absolutely unique exhibition 👉 "Artuum Mobile: The World of Saskia Boddeke and Peter Greenaway", built around the work of an exceptional pair of visual artists, director Peter Greenaway and multimedia artist and director Saskia Boddeke. In the space of the Center of Contemporary Art in Toruń, visitors could admire the artist's multimedia installations as well as the sculptures and paintings of the director, whose texts were also used in the installations.

The author of the unique concept of the festival poster in 2019 was once again a Polish artist-graphic designer 👉 Piotr Jabłoński @Nicponimsky, who cooperated with us two years earlier and – as it turned out – in 2022 ❤

2019 was also special because a few weeks before the 27th edition of EnergaCAMERIMAGE, on September 29, the 👉 European Film Center CAMERIMAGE was to established!

It's time to go back to the 26th edition of the festival, which was organized for the first time with the support of our strategic sponsor 👉 Energa Grupa Orlen.

We decided to honor the Polish cinematographer ✨Witold Sobociński✨ with the Lifetime Achievement Golden Frog that year, who during the 26-year history of the festival accompanied us during most of its editions, infecting everyone with positive energy and boosting not always good moods with his great sense of humor.

In 2018, special awards went to 👉 Jean-Marie Dreujou and Jean-Jacques Annaud (the Cinematographer - Director Duo), Carol Littleton (Award to the Editor with Unique Visual Sensitivity) and Julien Temple (Special Award for Outstanding Achievements in the Field of Music Videos).

The awards in the Main Competition went to:
➡️ Golden Frog: Ji-Yong Kim for "The Fortress" (dir. Dong-Hyuk Hwang)
➡️ Silver Frog: Łukasz Żal for "Cold War" (dir. Paweł Pawlikowski)
➡️ Bronze Frog: Alfonso Cuarón for "Roma" (dir. Alfonso Cuarón)

➡️ "Peterloo” (cin. Dick Pope, dir. Mike Leigh), which received the prestigious FIPRESCI Award, and ➡️ "The Favourite” (cin. Robbie Ryan, dir. Yorgos Lanthimos), which received an equally important Audience Award, were also honoured that year.

The festival poster was designed by an internationally recognized artist 👉 Rafał Olbiński, a Polish painter, graphic artist, poster designer and one of the most important representatives of the Polish poster school.

The 26th edition of EnergaCAMERIMAGE was the last one organized in Bydgoszcz. As a result of the lack of agreement with the city authorities about the festival's further development strategy and improvement of its infrastructure conditions, we decided to return to our roots and we organized the next edition of EnergaCAMERIMAGE in Toruń.

Now let’s go back to 2017 to the 25 edition of Camerimage! The poster that year was designed by Piotr Jabłoński 🐸

The Lifetime Achievement Golden Frog, went to the great American cinematographer John Toll and the Main Competition winners were:
➡️ Golden Frog: Máté Herbai for "On Body and Soul" (dir. Ildikó Enyedi)
➡️ Silver Frog: Mikhail Krichman for "Loveless" (dir. by Andrei Zvyagintsev)
➡️ Bronze Frog: Anthony Dod Mantle for "First They Killed My Father" (dir. by Angelina Jolie)

2017 edition was really eventful:

👉 The Fipresci International Federation of Film Critics Award was presented for the first time at our festival. The historic winner in this category was „Sweet Country”.

👉 Anthony Dod Mantle achieved an almost impossible deed, standing two years in a row on the same step of the podium in the Camerimage Main Competition. In 2016 he won the Bronze Frog for the film „Snowden” (directed by Oliver Stone).

👉 We were visited by director David Lynch, for whose non-film work we devoted the space of the Center of Contemporary Art „Znaki Czasu” in Toruń, where one of the accompanying exhibitions, „Silence and Dynamism”, was held. As part of this unique on a European scale exhibition, we had the opportunity to see over 400 works constituting a cross-section of the director's artistic output and artistic search.

👉 We had the opportunity to admire the photographic works of Gregory Crewdson and Lola Garrido.

👉 We listened to the Haushka: What if concert

👉 We celebrated the 100th anniversary of one of our most important partners, the @ARRI company 💙

👉 AND that year Camerimage was honored with another award from the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), which granted us the status of a festival qualifying for the Student Academy Awards ❤️

Time for a short reminder of what happened in 2016

Time for a short reminder of what happened in 2016, during the 24th edition of Camerimage 🐸
The author of the "steampunk" poster was the internationally recognized Polish graphic artist, illustrator and set designer 👉 Igor Morski.

The honorary guest of the festival, organized once again in Bydgoszcz, was the outstanding American cinematographer ✨Michael Chapman✨ who got the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Jessica Lange, who got the Krzysztof Kieślowski Award, had also a different, very important role that year. Few people know that this talented, world-famous actress is also an excellent photographer, whose artistic achievements in this field could be seen at a specially organized photo exhibition titled 👉 "Unseen".

However, it was not the only art exhibition this year. Fans of director 👉 David Cronenberg were up for a real treat! We organized an exhibition that presented the cinematographic achievements of this remarkable filmmaker. At the exhibition entitled "Evolution", you could see with your own eyes the original props, costumes and set design elements from Cronenberg's films, as well as the director's personal notes and original projects. Impressive in its size, it was exhibited in Toruń at the "Znaki Czasu" Center of Contemporary Art.

The Main Competition winners were:
➡️ Golden Frog: Greig Fraser for „Lion” (dir. Garth Davis)
➡️ Silver Frog: Bradford Young for „Arrival” (dir. Denis Villeneuve)
➡️ Bronze Frog: Anthony Dod Mantle for „Snowden” (dir. Oliver Stone)

Our guests also included Paul Cameron, Natasha Braier, Steve Yedlin, Andrzej Seweryn, Tomasz Bagiński, Mátyás Erdély, Chris Doyle, Ed Lachman, John Toll, Marcel Zyskind, Dick Pope, and many others who came to sit in juries, conduct film seminars, meet with cinema enthusiasts from around the world or simply soak up the unique atmosphere of our festival ❤️

💥💥💥 During the 30th jubilee edition of the EnergaCAMERIMAGE festival, a film school review is not to be missed!

This year's program will feature productions by students of the prestigious University of Television and Film Munich ➡️ @hffmuenchen. This November, the festival audience will have a chance to watch the best etudes of the school's graduates from recent years.

The University of Television and Film Munich has been providing education for the next generation of directors, screenwriters, producers and cinematographers for over 50 years. Each year, almost 350 students create around 100 feature and documentary etudes, screened and awarded at international festivals. In 2011, the school moved to the newly erected building in the very heart of Munich, equipped with a television studio, a post-production area and screening rooms. HFF Munich has been listed multiple times as one of the top film schools by such industry magazines as Variety and the Hollywood Reporter.

Among the filmmakers who passed through HFF Munich were ➡️ Wim Wenders, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, Roland Emmerich, Maren Ade, Uli Edel, Dominik Graf, Caroline Link, Hans-Christian Schmid, Doris Dörrie, Florian Gallenberger, Baran bo Odar, Mika Kaurismäki, Byambasuren Davaa and many more 😍😍😍

Here’s a bunch of memories from the 23rd edition

Here’s a bunch of memories from the 23rd edition of the festival, Camerimage 2015 🐸

As we mentioned last week, the author of the poster promoting the 2015 edition was Ryszard Horowitz, whose mechanical bird with a lens instead of a head literally gave us wings!

The Lifetime Achievement Award went to ✨ Chris Menges ✨ a British cinematographer experienced in both feature and documentary cinema, and the Main Competition Frogs winners were:
➡️ Golden Frog: Ed Lachman for "Carol" (dir. Todd Haynes)
➡️ Silver Frog: Sturla Brandth Grøvlen for "Rams"(dir. Grímur Hákonarson)
➡️ Bronze Frog: Mátyás Erdély for "Son of Saul" (dir. László Nemes)

In the Festival Center, one could also meet 👉 John Seale, John Toll, Matthew Libatique, Reed Morano, Ellen Kuras, Łukasz Żal, Wojciech Staroń, Jay Rosenblatt, Chris Doyle, Rauno Ronkainen and Paul Bettany.

Fun fact ➡️ with that year’s win, Ed Lachmam became the happy owner of all three festival Frogs! In addition to the Golden Frog won for "Carol", he also got a bronze statuette in 2007 for "I'm Not There”, and in 2002 he received Silver Frog for his work on the set of "Far from Heaven”.

In 2015 we decided to enrich the festival program with a new competition section, aimed at drawing attention to the increasingly dynamically developing television industry. The historic winner of the first 👉 "First Look" TV Series Pilots Competition was the pilot episode of the series "Penny Dreadful" lensed by Xavi Giménez and directed by Juan Antonio Bayona.
That year we also invited the Polish studio 👉 CD PROJEKT RED, the creators of the famous The Witcher series, to - based on excerpts from "Wild Hunt" - tell us about the holistic image of the game's production, consisting of gameplay, cutscenes and promotional materials, for which techniques common to cinema and video games are used.

This week let’s go back to 2014, when the 22nd edition of the Camerimage Festival was held, for the fifth time in Bydgoszcz, but with an important accompanying event organized in neighboring Toruń 🐸

The Lifetime Achievement Award went to the outstanding American cinematographer ✨Caleb Deschanel✨ who of course came to the festival to get it.

On the red carpet you could meet such amazing filmmakers as: Phedon Papamichael, Fatih Akin, Stephen Daldry, Jonas Åkerlund, Óscar Faura, Roger Spottiswoode, Thelma Schoonmaker, Chris Menges, Jeannine Oppewall, Lilly Kilvert, Nancy Schreiber, Ed Lachman, Jay Rosenblatt, Rob Epstein, Maryse Alberti, Amy Vincent, Affonso Beato and many others.

At a time when the popularity of the books and film adaptations of the adventures of Harry Potter continued to grow, the fact that the festival was to be visited by one of the Hogwarts professors, Severus Snape himself, did not escape the attention of fans of the series 👉 Alan Rickman's visit made us experience a real siege of fans hungry for contact. Alan Rickman did his best to sign as many autographs as he could. In the meantime he managed to present to the festival audience his latest film, „A Little Chaos” with cinematography by Ellen Kuras, in which he was not only an actor, but above all a director.

The Main Competition winners were:
➡️ Golden Frog: Mikhail Krichman for „Leviathan” (dir. by Andrey Zvyagintsev)
➡️ Silver Frog: Ehab Assal for „Omar” (dir. Hany Abu-Assad)
➡️ Bronze Frog: André Turpin for „Mommy” (dir. Xavier Dolan)

The author of the 2014 poster with a centrally located burning eye was Tomasz Opasiński, a Los Angeles-based graphic and poster designer working for the largest film studios, who accompanied us during the festival and conducted a special workshop on the importance of graphics in the promotion of the film 🥰

And now it’s time to sum up the 21st edition of Camerimage in 2013, held once again in Bydgoszcz 🐸
This time we decided to honor the Polish cinematographer ✨Sławomir Idziak✨ with the Lifetime Achievement Golden Frog. He was then already a frequent visitor at Camerimage over the previous 20 years, and this time he came to personally collect the award and meet with our audience.
An exceptional guest of this edition was also 👉 Władysław Bartoszewski, who came to present the documentary „Bartoszewski. Droga” (cin. Marek Gajczak, dir. Artur Więcek).

The winners of the Main Competition were those guys:
➡️ Golden Frog: Łukasz Żal and Ryszard Lenczewski for "Ida" (dir. Paweł Pawlikowski)
➡️ Silver Frog: Lorenzo Hagerman for "Heli" (dir. Amat Escalante)
➡️ Bronze Frog: Bruno Delbonnel's for „Inside Llewyn Davis” (dir. Ethan Coen, Joel Coen)

The varied program of the festival was enriched this year by a new competition section - the 3D Films Competition, in which the jury assessed both features and documentaries made in this technique. The historic winner in the Feature Film category was ➡️ "Gravity" with cinematography by Emmanuel Lubezki (dir. Alfonso Cuarón), while Wim Wenders’ ➡️ „Pina” lensed by Hélène Louvart turned out to be the Best Documentary.

The poster accompanying the festival was designed by the renowned Polish artist and designer, Janusz Kaniewski, whose design drawings eschibition could be admired in the BWA Gallery in Bydgoszcz.
In addition to the organization of the successful Camerimage edition, 2013 was special for us for one more reason, which to this day is a confirmation of the high level of our program and a true reason to be proud of. It was then that we were first (and not the last) appreciated by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), which granted Camerimage the status of a festival qualifying films in the Short Documentary Film category 🥰

💥💥💥 ОКО - International Ethnographic F

💥💥💥 ОКО - International Ethnographic Film Festival @okofilmfest 2022 hosted by EnergaCAMERIMAGE 💥💥💥

Not only millions of Ukrainian people but festivals too have been displaced as a result of the war that broke out on February 24. OKO’s third edition was threatened as the region of Bessarabia, being close to the Black Sea, appeared to be one of the main strategic interests of Russia. But despite this, the festival will happen! We are happy to announce that in 2022 OKO will take place in the Polish city of Toruń with the support of the EnergaCAMERIMAGE International Film Festival 🥰

The medieval city of Toruń with its picturesque UNESCO-protected old town seems like a great location for the ethnographic film festival. The place is breathing with history, and it invites everyone to travel back in time. Toruń’s old town has never been destroyed in wars, and this fact brings peace and confidence.

These vibes correspond with 2022 OKO’s concept. This year, the official slogan affirmatively states "Celebrate life!". No foreign aggression should stop Ukraine from living, and OKO from promoting peace and tolerance by showing great movies.

Due to the circumstances, OKO has to reduce the program, but we will still have quite a lot to offer to our guests! The films will be competing in the Feature and Short International sections and judged by the international juries, meanwhile all Ukrainian films will be screened in a special non-competitive section.

The OKO's selection results will be announced in late September.

The OKO festival’s new dates are November 13-18, 2022. We are looking forward to meeting you in Toruń!

Here’s a bunch of stuff from 2012, i.e. the 20th edition of Camerimage 🐸
Fun fact: the original concept of the jubilee poster was designed by David Lynch!

This year, the Lifetime Achievement Award went to Vadim Yusov, one of the most important Russian filmmakers in the history of cinema.
The Main Competition awards went to:
➡️ Golden Frog: Nicolas Bolduc for "War Witch" (dir.Kim Nguyen)
➡️ Silver Frog: Caroline Champetier for "Holy Motors" (dir. Leos Carax)
➡️ Bronze Frog: Touraj Aslani for "Rhino Season" (dir. Bahman Ghobadi)

On the red carpet, apart from such fantastic filmmakers as Ed Lachman, Paul Cameron, Gus Van Sant, Chris Doyle, Vittorio Storaro, Anthony Dod Mantle, John Mathieson and Sławomir Idziak you could - again - meet 👉 Keanu Reeves, who came to the festival with Christopher Cassidy and Christopher Kenneally to present their documentary „Side by Side”, for which materials were collected at Camerimage two years earlier. This time, Keanu Reeves found himsefl in a bit of a pickle just before he landed in Poland, which as it turned out caused quite a stir among our team. During the flight, Keanu received information that as a result of a very unfortunate mistake, his luggage flew in a completely different direction of the world than he did, so in Poland he will only land with what he currently has with him. Remembering that he had an important presentation of his film planned, he contacted us asking for help in buying a suit with a full set of accessories to present himself on stage with dignity. That was a first for us, but we dealt with even grater challenges that this! Our teammate, Agnieszka Swoińska, without hesitation, bravely set off on a mission to a shopping mall, discovering her hidden fashion talent at the same time. With a tape measure in her eye, she bought a perfectly fitted suit in which – we all thought – Keanu looked fabulous! 🤵‍♂️

Now it’s time to recall the 19th edition of the festival - Camerimage 2011, which was held again in Bydgoszcz 🐸 The poster was designed by duo Joanna Górska and Jerzy Skakun.

During this edition the Lifetime Achievement Award went to John Seale, who came to us all the way from Australia, not only to get his Golden Frog, but also to meet our audience during the Q&A sessions and press conference. Special awards were also handed to: Andrzej Wajda (Lifetime Achievement Award To Polish Director), Ed Lachman and Todd Haynes (the Cinematographer - Director Duo), Jack Fisk (Lifetime Achievement Award to the Production Designer with Unique Visual Sensitivity), Albert Maysles (Award for Documentary Filmmaker), Andy Morahan (Special Award for Outstanding Achievements in the Field of Music Videos) and Klaus Maria Brandauer (Krzysztof Kieślowski Award).

An international jury of Walter Lassally, Lilly Kilvert, Hannah McGill, Elvis Mitchell, Dick Pope, Dante Spinotti and Roger Donaldson as chairman awarded:

➡️ Golden Frog: Jolanta Dylewska for "In Darkness" (dir. Agnieszka Holland)
➡️ Silver Frog: Mahmoud Kalari for "A Separation" (dir. Asghar Farhadi)
➡️ Bronze Frog: Robbie Ryan for "Wuthering Heights" (dir. Andrea Arnold)

In the corridors of the festival center you could also meet: Hoyte Van Hoytema, Sissy Spacek, Nastassja Kinski, Haskell Wexler, Michael Seresin, Volker Schlöndorff, Joan Churchill, Phedon Papamichael, Borys Szyc, Łukasz Simlat, Robert Więckiewicz, Lech Majewski, Paweł Edelman, Łukasz Żal, Andrzej Bartkowiak, Vilmos Zsigmond and many others.

It was a surprisingly calm edition of Camerimage. There were no snow blizzards, we were not blown away by wind, nobody and nothing got stuck on any of the borders, everyone arrived safely and had a great time attending a variety of festival attractions, from film screenings, through inspiring meetings, to partying at the festival club.

And what do you remember from that edition?
