The most important part of the International Film Festival of the Art of Cinematography PLUS CAMERIMAGE<\/b> is the Main Competition<\/b>. A dozen or so movies, carefully selected due to their cinematography value, compete for the Golden Frog<\/b>, the award given by the international jury of professional filmmakers. We are very happy to inform that this year’s Jury of the Main Competition<\/b> will be headed by Joel Schumacher<\/b>, the recipient of Plus Camerimage 2010 Special Award to the Director<\/b>. <\/p>\n

Joel Schumacher<\/b> is renowned for his versatility, style and ability to move seamlessly between film genres with equal popular success and critical acclaim. He launched his film career in the 1970s as a costume designer, screenwriter and TV director, but it was the subsequent decade that would bring him the fame of a promising feature career. His St. Elmo’s Fire<\/i><\/span> and The Lost Boys<\/i><\/span> made him a name with both the young people filling the theatres and the large studios that financed these projects. During the 90s his career flourished as the producers trusted him with bigger and bigger fare: Flatliners<\/i><\/span>, Falling Down<\/i><\/span>, A Time for Kill<\/i><\/span>, The Client<\/i><\/span> and two pictures about the Caped Crusader – Batman. Schumacher<\/b> was acknowledged not only as a director who is constantly looking for new challenges, trying to explore different areas of cinema, but also a filmmaker who is not afraid to work with young unknown actors. Although Colin Farrell, Kiefer Sutherland, Demi Moore, Matthew McConaughey or Rob Lowe were not given their very first roles by Schumacher<\/b>, he gave them the roles that brought them great fame. <\/p>\n

After a string of big-budget successes, Schumacher<\/b> decided to re-invent himself, looking for more modest, independent projects exploring the darkest areas of the human psyche. 8MM<\/i><\/span>, Tigerland<\/i><\/span>, Phone Booth<\/i><\/span>, Veronica Guerin<\/i><\/span> and The Number 23<\/i><\/span>. While navigating through the constraints of these smaller films, Schumacher<\/b> reaffirmed himself as a wonderful organizer who always finishes shooting on time and – more importantly – within the budget limitations. If there is one characteristic that defines Joel Schumacher’s<\/b> directorial style, it is surely the visual breadth and beauty of his films. The origins of this can be tracked to his youthful adoration of the one-and-only classic Hollywood stars like Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Grace Kelly or Gary Cooper, as well as his eventual first career in New York’s fashion industry. The protagonists of Joel Schumacher’s<\/b> films always look great on the screen, no matter if they are simple clerks or extravagant people on the verge of madness. And the cinematography is always connected with the style of a given story; Batman Forever<\/i><\/span> had the aesthetics of colorful psychedelic, while Tigerland<\/i><\/span> was inspired by the Dogma 95 manifesto. Although he has never had \u201chis” cinematographer, the visuals were always an additional character of Schumacher’s<\/b> films. <\/p>\n

We are extremely happy that Joel Schumacher<\/b> will visit Plus Camerimage<\/b> for the third time. We are certain that under his guidance the Jury will provide the Main Competition<\/b> with impartiality and utmost professionalism. <\/div>\n
