The International Film Festival of the Art of Cinematography CAMERIMAGE is maybe the greatest and most recognized festival dedicated to the art of cinematography and its creators - cinematographers.

The goal of CAMERIMAGE is to contribute to the growth of cinematographers’ prestige. The unconventional format of the Festival, which awards films according to their visual, aesthetic and technical values, has turned out to be an alternative for a lot of traditional film festivals.

As all guests emphasize - CAMERIMAGE is unique - and we confirm that it is true.
The Festival is a great forum not only for presentation but also for further development of international moviemaking. CAMERIMAGE helps young filmmakers to integrate the community of those already recognized, allowing them to explore new artistic fields.
For years, Transvideo is a strong supporter of Camerimage. Every year we take student from major French schools to put them in touch with the biggest names of the Industry. It’s also a great opportunity for us to present our latest developments to an international audience and say a big “Merci” to those who use us already!

AFFECT’s dinner in Bydgoszcz
As each year, a dinner was given at the Pod Orlem Hotel for the students invited by Transvideo and K5600 to discover Camerimage. This year it was under the umbrella of the AFFECT, the Association of French Manufacturers of Cinematic Equipment - this new born association includes Aaton-Digital, Angenieux, K5600-Lighting and Transvideo. This year we invited 20 students from Paris, La Femis and Louis Lumière, Lodz Film School and from Germany with HFF and HdM. A cheerful event with a lot of special guests, as Denny Clairmont and Mardrie Mullen from Clairmont Cameras, Denis Lenoir AFC ASC, and several AFC members as Rémy Chevrin, Jean-Noel Ferragut, Philippe Ros and Jean-Louis Vialard.

NAC Image Technology is a world leader in the development and production of advanced imaging and motion analysis systems. NAC, the new distributor of TRANSVIDEO in Japan, shares with us a passion for quality and we strongly believe that our cooperation will be the beginning of a new success story in Japan. NAC has already exhibited our latest products during InterBEE in Tokyo. The StarliteHD mounted on ARRI Alexa and Amira was a great hit with Japanese visitors.
