The winners of the 2024 FilmLight Colour Awards were announced on Sunday, 17 November at a dedicated ceremony at EnergaCAMERIMAGE in Poland. The ceremony was opened by director and 2024 ‘Guest of Honour’, George Miller, before the awards were presented by this year’s jury president, cinematographer Mandy Walker, AM, ASC, ACS.
“On behalf of our immensely talented jury, I would like to congratulate the winners of the 2024 FilmLight Colour Awards,” commented Walker. “Each artist has shown a resonant point of view into how we can both view and reflect the world on our screen. It is brilliant to celebrate how different colourists can collaborate to shape different projects. Colour is a universal language, and it has been our honour to celebrate the vivid brilliance of creatives from all over the world. From stark dramatic imagery to lush vibrancy and everything in between, we are forever inspired and excited to see what is to come.”
