From the very beginning, the Camerimage Festival<\/strong> has been dedicated to the language of cinematography, especially the visual aspects of it that enrich the storytelling. The festival could not have remained indifferent to the cooperation between the cinematographer and the director duos, as so many outstanding films have been shot thanks to their creative cooperation. There have been many great duos in the history of cinema, some of whom are known for their unique aesthetic and narrative style and their impact on future generations of filmmakers. In the 22 editions of the Camerimage Festival<\/strong>, we have recognized many cinematographer\u2013director duos. In giving the duo award, we have usually considered the many years of cooperation between the cinematographer and the director as well as dozens of films that stand out in narrative and aesthetic terms. We have also presented awards to duos that have only completed a few projects together. However, the main selection criterion has always been the value of the created films.<\/div>\n

Majid Majidi and Vittorio Storaro

This year the Outstanding Cinematic Duo Award<\/strong> is presented to two outstanding artists\u2014director Majid Majidi <\/strong>and cinematographer Vittorio Storaro<\/strong>\u2014for creating the remarkably important film Muhammad: The Messenger of God<\/em><\/strong><\/span>. This is the first part of the planned trilogy that tells the story of the life of the Prophet Muhammad. The film presents his childhood years and helps explain the roots of the Muslim religion and its message, which revolves around tolerance and love for a fellow human being. The many years of cooperation between Majidi<\/strong> and Storaro<\/strong> culminated in a film which includes both epic battle scenes and reflective scenes that bring the viewer closer to the essence of Islamic spirituality by showing the most important moments in the life of the protagonist and the people that surrounded him.<\/div>\n

Drawing on the tradition and iconography of Islam, but also on the Qur\u2019an and many historical sources, Majidi <\/strong>and Storaro<\/strong> render the beauty and splendour of sixth-century Mecca in an exceptionally suggestive manner. They create a vibrant story about cherishing other human beings, forbearance, and love. Muhammad: The Messenger of God<\/em><\/strong><\/span> is a bold and expressive voice on an extremely important contemporary topic. We are forced to find a common understanding with Muslims, whose beliefs are obscure for Western civilization, making them seem dangerous, as well as being associated with the threat posed by religious fundamentalists. Majidi and <\/strong>Storaro’s<\/strong> film helps the viewer to understand how remote these two are from the essence of the values preached by Muhammad. Muhammad: The Messenger of God<\/strong><\/em><\/span> was shot not to divide, but to unite.<\/div>\n
