The International Film Festival of the Art of Cinematography Camerimage (Polish: Międzynarodowy Festiwal Sztuki Autorów Zdjęć Filmowych Camerimage) is a festival that celebrates and awards cinematography and cinematographers. The festival is held in Toruń, Poland, at the end of November every year. It spans the course of one week, with multiple events at one time.[1]

The first seven events (1993–1999) were held in Toruń, and the next ten events (2000–2009) were held in Łódź. From 2010 until 2018, the festival took place in Bydgoszcz, before returning to Toruń in 2019, where it currently remains. In 2007, the name of the festival was changed from Camerimage to Plus Camerimage, but it was changed back in 2013 after the sponsorship deal with Plus ended.
The festival has hosted many prominent filmmakers including Darren Aronofsky, Jon M. Chu, Alfonso Cuarón, Peter Greenaway, Agnieszka Holland, James Ivory, Jim Jarmusch, Aki Kaurismäki, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Andrei Konchalovsky, Emir Kusturica, Ang Lee, Ken Loach, David Lynch, Paweł Pawlikowski, Roman Polański, Robert Richardson, Gus Van Sant, Ridley Scott, Volker Schlöndorff, Oliver Stone, István Szabó, Quentin Tarantino, Tom Tykwer, Denis Villeneuve, Andrzej Wajda, Peter Weir, and Wim Wenders.[2][3][4][5]

Academy Awards
editSince 2013, short documentary films awarded the Golden Frog during Camerimage festival are granted consideration in the Documentary Short Subject category of the Academy Awards without having to meet the standard theatrical run requirement. To meet all requirements, the running time limit of selected short documentary was decreased from 60 to 40 minutes. This way requirements for short documentary films selected at both Camerimage festival and the Academy Awards are the same.[24]
