    Chinese DOP Cécile Zhang with Edward Lachman in Cannes

    Chinese DOP Cecile Zhang will be in Cannes with Edward Lachman to be distinguished by Angénieux on Friday, May 18. They will be available together for a few media requests.

    A member of the most promissing new generation of Chinese DOPs, Cécile Zhang graduated with honors from the Beijing Film Academy. This year, she is distinguished by Angénieux and will have the opportunity to use an Angénieux zoom lens on her next project.
    La directrice de la photographie chinoise Cecile Zhang sera présente à Cannes aux côtés d’Edward Lachman pour être distinguée par Angénieux le vendredi 18 mai. Ensemble, ils seront disponibles pour répondre à quelques demandes média.

    Membre de la talentueuse jeune génération de directeurs de la photographie chinois, Cécile Zhang est diplômée avec les honneurs de la Beijing Film Academy. Cette année, elle est distinguée par Angénieux et aura la possibilité de faire les images de son prochain film avec un zoom Angénieux.

     Edward lachman
    Every year, the “Pierre Angénieux ExcelLens in Cinematography” ceremony turns the spotlight on a director of photography whose work has marked the history of world cinema. Since its inception in 2013, tribute has been paid to Philippe Rousselot (AFC*, ASC*), Vilmos Zsigmond (HSC*, ASC) in 2014, Roger A. Deakins (BSC*, ASC) in 2015, Peter Suschitzky (ASC) in 2016 and Christopher Doyle (HKSC*) in 2017.

    In 2018, American photographer, filmmaker and director of photography Edward Lachman will receive the Pierre Angénieux ExcelLens in Cinematography during an exceptional ceremony at the 71st Cannes Film Festival.

    With a career spanning 45 years and comprising an eclectic mix of over 75 films and documentaries, Edward Lachman has served as director of photography on films by Werner Herzog, Jonathan Demme, Susan Seidelman, Dennis Hopper, Paul Schrader, Mira Nair, Andrew Niccol, Robert Altman, Todd Solondz or Larry Clark, with whom he co-directed the very sensuous Ken Park.

    Many films on which he worked as cinematographer were selected in Cannes: documentaries by Wim Wenders – including Lightning over Water, co-directed with Nicholas Ray, or Tokyo-Ga –, Little Wars by Maroun Bagdadi, A Gathering of Old Men by Volker Schlöndorff, Virgin Suicides by Sofia Coppola, Import/Export and the Paradise trilogy by Austrian filmmaker Ulrich Seidl, The Limey by Steven Soderbergh, whose Erin Brockovich he also endowed with a crisp, realistic tone. Angénieux zoom lenses were used in both films.

    But it is in Todd Haynes’s last four films (Far from Heaven, I’m not There, Carol and Wonderstruck) that his work took on a new dimension, set between expressionism and intimacy, classical aesthetics and modern stylisation.

    His use of light underscores tourmented characters’ psychological subtleties without bearing down on the sensitivities of highly emotional dramas. Julianne Moore (Far from Heaven, 2002) and Cate Blanchett (Carol, 2015), both fighting for their desire and licking their wounds, are magnificent women in a world whose contrasted hues bring to the fore the impossibility of love within a false, moralistic society.

    Both films earned Edward Lachman an Academy Award nomination for Best Cinematography. Furthermore, Carol in 2015 and Wonderstruck in 2017 were in competition at Cannes Film Festival.

    An art lover enthralled by his own work, he is akin to a painter using an infinite colour palette. Endlessly experimenting and bold, Edward Lachman has the amazing ability to “make” pictures that linger in us for a long time.

    After receiving a prize by the American Society of Cinematographers to distinguish his entire work last year, being the laureate of some 40 international awards and having his work shown in art institutions all over the world, Edward Lachman will be awarded with the “Pierre Angénieux ExcelLens in Cinematography” on Friday May 18th at the Buñuel Theatre, Palais des Festivals, along with the many talents who have accompanied him throughout his career.

    In 2018, Angénieux will also recognise the work of a young film professional.

    While acknowledging the contribution of the greatest movie professionals, Angénieux will, for the first time in 2018 during the “Pierre Angénieux ExcelLens in Cinematography” ceremony, strongly affirm its interest in and support to fledgling creative talents in the international film industry.

    This year, Angénieux will, during this exceptional ceremony, distinguish Chinese young cinematographer Cecile Zhang – who graduated with honors from the Beijing Film Academy – by giving her the opportunity to use an Angénieux zoom lens on her next project.

    She got accepted in the Beijing Film Academy at only 17 years old and was the only female of her year. Despite her young age, Cecile has already shot many narratives, music videos and commercials and carries with her the energy of a new generation of cinematographers. She is a member of the ICFC , the International Collective of Female Cinematographers.

    The lens – from the Optimo or Optimo Anamorphic range, as she will wish – will be on loan during the shooting stage. She will thus experience firsthand the image sharpness and quality of rendering that helped establish the lenses’ reputation.

    Chaque année, la Cérémonie « Pierre Angénieux ExcelLens in Cinematography » met en lumière un directeur de la photographie ayant marqué l’histoire du Cinéma. Depuis 2013, l’hommage a été rendu à Philippe Rousselot (AFC*, ASC*), Vilmos Zsigmond (HSC*, ASC) en 2014, Roger A. Deakins (BSC*, ASC) en 2015, Peter Suschitzky (ASC) en 2016 et Christopher Doyle (HKSC*) en 2017.

    En 2018, le Pierre Angénieux ExcelLens in Cinematography sera remis au photographe, chef opérateur et réalisateur américain Edward Lachman lors d’une soirée exceptionnelle au coeur du 71e Festival de Cannes.

    Avec plus de 75 films et documentaires éclectiques en 45 ans, Edward Lachman a apporté sa sensibilité à des oeuvres signées de Werner Herzog, Jonathan Demme, Susan Seidelman, Dennis Hopper, Paul Schrader, Mira Nair, Andrew Niccol, Robert Altman, Todd Solondz ou encore Larry Clark, avec qui il a coréalisé le sensuel Ken Park.

    De nombreux films qu’il a éclairés ont été sélectionnés à Cannes : des documentaires de Wim Wenders – celui coréalisé avec Nicholas Ray, Lightning over Water, ou Tokyo-Ga -, Les Petites guerres de Maroun Bagdadi, Colère en Louisiane de Volker Schlöndorff, Virgin Suicides de Sofia Coppola, Import/Export et la trilogie Paradis de l’Autrichien Ulrich Seidl, The Limey de Steven Soderbergh, pour qui il a aussi donné le ton vif et réaliste d’Erin Brockovich, deux films pour lesquels des zooms Angénieux ont été utilisés.

    Mais c’est avec les quatre derniers films de Todd Haynes (Loin du Paradis, I’m not There, Carol et Le Musée des Merveilles) que son travail prend une dimension particulière, entre expressionnisme et intimité, esthétisme classique et stylisation moderne.

    Son travail de la lumière souligne les subtilités psychologiques de personnages tourmentés tout en ne brusquant jamais la sensibilité de mélodrames à fleur de peau. Julianne Moore (Loin du Paradis, 2002) et Cate Blanchett (Carol, 2015), toutes deux luttant pour leurs désirs et pansant leurs blessures, sont sublimées dans un univers où les couleurs contrastées mettent en relief leur impossibilité d’aimer dans une société aussi factice que moralisatrice.

    Ces deux films ont valu à Edward Lachman une nomination pour l’Oscar de la meilleure photographie. Carol en 2015 et Le Musée des Merveilles en 2017 ont été en compétition à Cannes.

    Féru d’art, amoureux de son métier, il est comme un peintre doté d’une palette de nuances infinies. Expérimentateur et audacieux, Edward Lachman a ce génie de pouvoir « fabriquer » des images qui nous hantent longtemps.

    Récipiendaire d’un prix pour l’ensemble de son oeuvre l’an dernier remis par ses pairs de l’American Society of Cinematographers, lauréat de 40 prix internationaux, exposé dans les musées et les galeries du monde entier, Edward Lachman recevra le vendredi 18 mai, en salle Buñuel au Palais des Festivals, le « Pierre Angénieux ExcelLens in Cinematography » entouré des talents qui ont accompagné sa carrière.

    En 2018, Angénieux reconnaît aussi le travail d’un jeune talent de la création cinématographique

    Soucieux de reconnaitre la contribution des plus grands professionnels de l’image, Angénieux a aussi souhaité signifier pour la première fois en 2018 à l’occasion de la cérémonie « Pierre Angénieux ExcelLens in Cinematography », toute son attention et son soutien aux nouveaux talents de la création cinématographique internationale.

    Angénieux remettra cette année, dans le cadre de cette soirée exceptionnelle, une dotation à Cécile Zhang, jeune directrice de la photographie chinoise – diplômée avec les honneurs de la Beijing Film Academy –  lui offrant la possibilité de faire les images de son prochain film avec un zoom Angénieux.

    Elle avait intégré la Beijing Film Academy à 17 ans seulement et était la seule femme de sa promotion. Cecile a déjà fait bon nombre de films, clips vidéos et publicités et elle porte en elle l’énergie de la nouvelle génération de cinéastes. Cecile est membre de la ICFC (International Collective of Female Cinematographers), collectif international de femmes cinéastes.

    Il s’agira d’un prêt le temps du tournage, d’un objectif de la gamme Optimo ou Optimo Anamorphique, selon son choix, lui permettant d’apprécier la précision du travail et la qualité du rendu d’image qui ont fait la réputation de ces objectifs.
