Mike Valinsky was there to talk with winner Mátyás Erdély of The ASC Spotlight Award, which honors great cinematography in independent, foreign or art-house films, was presented by Roberto Schaefer, ASC, AIC.
The award was a tie between Adam Arkapaw (who was unable to attend), for Macbeth, and Mátyás Erdély, HSC, for Son of Saul. “This is my friend’s first feature film, and we had a very limited budget but great ambition,” says Erdély, referring to director László Nemes. “We wanted to utilize the language of film to tell the story. … We shot on film and finished photochemically, because we felt it was the most immersive experience that the viewer could get. This is our responsibility as cinematographers: to keep film alive as an option, not just for now but for future generations.”
