Cine Gear Expo to Award Pioneering Women in Cinematography, Carl Zeiss and Film Competition

At this year's premier industry event, Cine Gear Expo will recognize individuals and manufacturers who have performed outstanding service and made significant contributions to advancing the arts and crafts of filmmaking at its Reception and VIP Awards Ceremony on June 1, 2018. Held at the Paramount Theater and Paseo Grounds, honors will be presented for Technical Lifetime Achievement, Film Festival Competition winners, and a special tribute to six filmmakers who are helping to change the face of cinematography.

Highlighting the occasion will be the Pioneering Women in Cinematography Award. This year, says Juliane Grosso, CEO and partner of Cine Gear Expo, Cine Gear is pleased to honor six women who have literally broken the glass ceiling as cinematographers. It is our hope that by shining a light on trailblazers Ellen Kuras, Reed Morano, Nancy Schreiber, Amy Vincent, Mandy Walker and Cynthia Pusheck, all members of the American Society of Cinematographers, we are also able to lend encouragement to all women who work behind-the-lens.

This year's Cine Gear Technical Achievement Lifetime Award will go to Carl Zeiss SBE. Zeiss's dedication to innovation in the cinema lens world has earned multiple Science and Engineering Academy Awards. On hand to receive the Cine Gear Award will be Joerg Schmitz ZEISS Vice President Consumer Productions Division and Michael Schiehlen, ZEISS Senior Director Consumer Productions Division.

Awards will also be given out for the Film Competition held on Thursday, May 31. Winners will receive top filmmaking tools, including: cameras, lighting, accessories, and support thanks to the generous donations of Film Series sponsors.
