Cinematographer Rachel Morrison, who photographed the Sundance Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award winner Fruitvale Station, will be presented with the Kodak Vision Award at the 2013 Women In Film (WIF) Crystal + Lucy® Awards in Los Angeles on June 12. The award is given annually to a female filmmaker with outstanding achievements in cinematography, who also collaborates with and assists women in the entertainment industry.

“I am deeply humbled and incredibly honored to be chosen as this year's recipient of the Kodak Vision Award,” says Morrison. “I look at the astounding group of women who have received this honor before me, ranging from personal heroes to dear friends, and I brim with pride because all are groundbreaking, innovative, resilient, and above all, exceptionally talented.

Kodak was recently recognized at the 32nd Hong Kong Film Awards for their contributions to the motion picture industry. Three-time Best Cinematography winner Mr. Wong Ngok Tai presented the award to Lois Lebegue, Managing Director of Kodak's Asia Pacific region. The event is Hong Kong's equivalent to the American Oscars and the British BAFTAS.

56th Annual CSC Awards Gala was held on March 23, 2013 and honors the best in Canadian cinematography. This event was attended by around 400 industry insiders with awards presented in eleven categories ranging from best documentary cinematography to best theatrical feature cinematography. Each year, Kodak presents the Kodak New Century Award for outstanding contribution to the art of cinematography. This year's recipient is Ron Stannett CSC whose credits include the television series Lonesome Dove, which earned him the Gemini Award for Best Photography.

The Oscars® in all four acting categories this year were given to actors whose performances were captured on Kodak motion picture film. And an overwhelming majority (16 of 20) of the nominated actors were in movies shot on motion picture film technology. Well done Daniel, Jennifer, Anne and Christoph!

"We take great pride in our rich history with the Academy Awards®, and this year is no exception,” says Andrew Evenski, president and general manager of Kodak’s Entertainment and Commercial Films Group. “You can listen to all the hype, but the truth is that motion picture film continues to be the gold standard, and last night was certainly proof of that. Filmmakers want creative options. We are as committed as ever to providing them with a choice for telling stories. We are currently making billions of feet of film and, who knows, maybe next year’s best winner is already being shot on Kodak film.”
