The Operators’ Award for feature films

Sponsored by

This prestigious award is given once a year for outstanding work by camera operators in feature film production

The award acknowledges the craft, technical and artistic ability that a dedicated Camera Operator must have in order to achieve or surpass the aesthetic and technical demands of the Director and Director of Photography.

The Nominees simply have to impress the voting membership with their work on a particular production that has been theatrically exhibited within the year prior to the award being given.
