SPECIAL AWARD TO THE PRODUCTION DESIGNER WITH UNIQUE VISUAL SENSITIVITY
Two years ago the Organizers of the Plus Camerimage Film Festival established a special award which is presented to a production designer. The reason for that was to emphasize the contribution of people who conceive and prepare a set design and then supervise the production. It is our great pleasure to announce that this year, during the 16th edition of PLUS CAMERIMAGE Festival, the Special Award to the Production Designer with Unique Visual Sensitivity will be granted to Arthur Max, production designer on Gladiator, Se7en, Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven or American Gangster.
