Richardson, Tarantino to receive Camerimage Award

Three-time Oscar-winning cinematographer Robert Richardson and two-time Oscar winner, director Quentin Tarantino will receive the Camerimage Award for the Cinematographer-Director Duo at the closing gala of the 27th edition of the EnergaCamerimage Festival, which will take place in Toruń on November 9-16.

As was emphasized in the event’s organizers’ announcement, Richardson and Tarantino delighted all with the two parts of “Kill Bill,” created an alternative version of World War II in “Inglourious Basterds,” deconstructed American myths in “Django” and showed the beauty of western on the 70-mm tape in “Hateful Eight.” “Robert Richardson and Quentin Tarantino tell interesting, visually impressive stories that serve as a reminder why many of us fell in love with the cinema. We grant them this award with great pleasure,” the organizers wrote.

During their stay in Toruń, Richardson and Tarantino will present to the festival audience their fifth joint work, “Once upon a time in Hollywood,” which was launched in May at the Cannes festival.
