With entries now being accepted, the judging panel is building up for the 2022 FilmLight Colour Awards.

The awards, which recognise the finest work from colourists using any technology platform and working in any genre, will again be presented at EnergaCAMERIMAGE in November.

"La critique est aisée, l’art est difficile (Criticising is easy, art is difficult)!" commented Yvan Lucas, senior colourist at Company 3 in LA and one of the newest members of the 2022 judging panel. "It's a first for me to be on the judging side, as it’s usually my work in the spotlight in collaboration with directors and cinematographers. I'm excited to join renowned cinematographers and experts in colour on the jury this year and see what hidden gems might emerge."

Cinematographer Sherri Kauk added: "I'm honoured to be involved in the 2022 FilmLight Colour Awards. I'm especially looking forward to seeing the entries in the new Spotlight category this year, which celebrates the work of colourists who grade off-Hollywood, independent and international features."

Eben Bolter, BSC, has built his career as a cinematographer by concentrating on film and TV dramas with bold visual stories. He was awarded the BAFTA breakthrough award in 2016 for his work on the film Chicken, and is currently shooting HBO’s The Last of Us.

“The FilmLight Colour Awards are very deliberately pan-industry, so it is really important that we have creative and technical viewpoints reflected in our judges, as well as the global viewpoint,” Jacqui Loran added. “We are continuing to work to make our panel as representative as we can, as we move towards the judging phase later in the year.”

The call for entries is now open, with a deadline of 31 July. A shortlist will be announced in the autumn, with the winners unveiled in November at this year's EnergaCAMERIMAGE, in the 30th year of this prestigious festival.
