than 1,000 other filmmakers, film lovers and students. Hall is credited with suggesting that the festival expand its awards to include recognition for directors who understand, value and facilitate great cinematography. That year also saw the inaugural World Panorama Review, which presents worthy films that do not make the competition slate. Internationally renowned Polish filmmakers, including Krzysztof Kiezlowski, were on hand to present many of the awards. Presiding over the jury for the third Camerimage Festival, Hall said, “I hope we can make wise decisions in the name of the art of cinematography. We shouldn’t be influenced by nationalities or our own mundane tastes. We are here to learn and understand more about this wonderful language. Cinematography is meaningless unless it captures the soul of the story; that should be our sole consideration.” Juror Jost Vacano, ASC, BVK said this during deliberations: “It is important that we make the right decisions, because people who care will look at what we do here as an indication of cinematographers’ ideas about artistic excellence.” Accepting the Lifetime Achievement Award that year, Hall might have been speaking for all the attendees when he said, “This great art form is still in its infancy. I have studied and worked in the cinema for half of its 100-year history, yet I still have much to learn about this marvelous language of film.” Clearly, the festival was gaining momentum. More sponsors began to see the benefit of associating their brands with the event. The unique forum eschewed movie stars (although they were welcome to attend) and focused instead on visual artists. Jurors found that language barriers were eased by their common love and appreciation for the language of cinema. Word began to spread throughout film schools that here was a chance to rub shoulders with world-class cinematographers in a relaxed atmosphere.
