Choosing from among the candidates who worked on films in the Official Competition at the Cannes Film Festival, acknowledging technical excellence, is definitely a challenge. With this in mind, the CST – Higher Technical Commission for Image and Sound – calls upon professionals who are known and recognised in their field to form its two juries, which award:

• The CST Award for Best Artist-Technician
• The CST Award for Best Young Female Film Technician.

The jury for the CST Award for Best Artist-Technician comprises well-known professionals such as the director and screenwriter Jean Achache, the editor Ariane Beoglin-Levent, the head of cultural affairs for the city of Cannes Maud Boissac, the economics and cinema expert Jean-Marie Dura, the Director of Photography Agnès Godard and the head sound engineer Yves-Marie Omnes.

The jury for the CST Award for Best Young Female Film Technician comprises the director Gérard Krawczyk and the sound editor Nadine Muse.

Who will follow on from Johnnie Burn, who won the CST Award for Best Artist-Technician for his work as sound designer on Jonathan Glazer’s film, Zone of Interest which also earned him an Oscar for the best sound?

Who will follow on from Anne-Sophie Delseries, winner of the CST Award for Best Young Female Film Technician for her work as Head Decorator on Anna Novion’s film Le Théorème de Marguerite?

The winners will be announced on May 25th.

The photographer Dolorès Marat supports the CST Awards and she will present two photos from her personal collection to the winners. She thus follows in the footsteps on Raymond Depardon, Carole Bellaïche and Sylvie Lancrenon, who we thank once again for their support in previous years.
