Every year, the official Selection at the Festival de Cannes reveals films of an exceptional quality. Acknowledging the technicians who are the bearers of this technical excellence, translating the directors’ wishes, represents a major challenge. To this end, the CST – Higher Technical Commission for Image and Sound – calls upon professionals who are renowned in their field to form its two juries and award:

• the CST Award for Best Artist-Technician for a film in the official competition
• the CST Award for Best Young Female Film Technician for a film in the official selection.

This year, the jury of the CST Award for Best Artist-Technician brings together Caroline Champetier, cinematographer; Nadine Muse, head sound editor; Guillaume Sciama Sound Designer and Yoann Goujon, director and author.

For its 5th edition, the jury of the CST Award for Best Young Female Film Technician comprises Françoise Noyon, cinematographer and Rémy Jacquelin, head of the ESEC film school.

Who will succeed Daria D’Antonio, the winner of last year’s CST Award for Best Artist-Technician for the photography of Paolo Sorrentino’s film Parthenope?

Who will follow on from Evgenia Alexandrova, last year’s winner of the CST Award for Best Young Female Film Technician for her photography of Noémie Merlant’s film The Balconettes?

The winners will be announced on May 24th.

This year, the photographer Claudine Doury will sponsor the CST Awards and will present two photographs from her personal collection to the winners, following in the footsteps of Raymond Depardon, Carole Bellaïche, Sylvie Lancrenon and Dolorès Marat, who we thank once again for their valued support in previous years.
