Michael Goldman, Iain Stasukevich, Patricia Thomson
This year's festival offered some stunning visuals captured in a variety of formats. Director Dee Rees and cinematographer Bradford Young chose Super 35mm for the coming-of-age drama Pariah, which earned the Excellence in Cinematography prize in the U.S. Dramatic category, judged by actress America Ferrera, film critic Todd McCarthy, cinematographer Tim Orr, and directors Kimberly Peirce and Jason Reitman. In the U.S. Documentary competition- judged by director Jeffrey Blitz, cartoonist Matt Groening, director/cinematographer Laura Poitras, producer Jess Search and editor Sloane Klevin- the cinematography prize was awarded to The Redmption of General Butt Naked. Directed by Eric Strauss and Daniele Anastasion and shot by Strauss, Peter Hutchens and Ryan Hill, the film was photographed with a mix of Panasonic and Sony cameras over the course of five years. Our coverage also includes the Danish film In a Better World, shot by Morten Soborg, DFF with the Red One; The Devil's Double, shot mostly with the Red One by Sam McCurdy, BSC; and the period drama Meek's Cutoff, photographed by Christopher Blauvelt on 35mm in the rarely attempte 1.33:1.
