65th CST AWARDS

CST – Commission Supérieure Technique de l’Image et du Son, is proud to present its award list for the 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. Over the years, the award list has been expanded to highlight the importance of the creative and technical know-how of all cinema technicians. Two winners are rewarded for the quality of their technical skills in the service of the director’s vision.

CST AWARD FOR BEST ARTIST-TECHNICIAN

Johnnie Burn, Sound Designer and Chief Sound Editor of Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest

“The jury for the CST Award for Best Artist-Technician presents the 2023 award to Johnnie Burn, Sound Designer and Chief Sound Editor on Jonathan Glazer’s film “The Zone of Interest”. His sound design embodies, through the off-screen, the horror of genocide and questions our humanity,” announced the jury.

The jury of professionals was equally made up of : Chloé Cambournac – Head decorator, Simon Depardon – Sirector, Laëtitia Masson – Sirector and Screenwriter, and Jean Minondo – Sound engineer.

Created in 1951, the “Grand Prix Technique”, which rewarded a body of work for its technical prowess, evolved into the “Prix Vulcain de l’Artist-Technicien” in 2003, to be awarded by name to a technical artist. In 2019, it will become the “CST Award for Best Artist-Technician”.

Since 2003, the award has been awarded by name to a technical artist for the quality of his or her work in the making of one of the films in the official competition.

Winners since 1951
