KODAK 2011. © Kodak, Welcome to the Queensland and Northern Territory ACS IMAGE IS awards for another year. I would like to pass on a very special thanks to all those who have given so much time to the ACS over the last twelve months. Firstly to an outstanding committee who generously give their time to ensure the ACS continues to be a strong and thriving society. I would like to thank all of our valued EVERYTHING... Cinematographers who have given their time and shared so freely their knowledge through our ACS functions and events. A very special thanks to Karen Hayward and the members of the awards committee that contributed to the planning and execution of these awards. TIM MCGAHAN ACS SHOOT FILM. I would like to thank our entire esteemed judging panel that gave up their time to view more than 150 entries for tonight’s awards: Chairman of judges John Stokes ACS, David Knight ACS, Allan Collins KODAK.COM/GO/MOTION ACS, Peter Collins ACS, Ben Nott ACS, Simon Christidis ACS and Aron Leong ACS. This time each year we give a special thanks to and acknowledge the contribution our valued sponsors make towards the running of the ACS and allow us to host this and our FIND US ON: various events throughout the year. I would also like to welcome our new sponsors and hope that we maintain a valuable and long lasting relationship. Congratulations must go to QLD member Aron Leong who received his ACS accreditation at the national accreditation screenings in Sydney. Also at that screening ACS member John Bean was granted a posthumous accreditation. John was tragically killed in a helicopter accident earlier this year while on the job shooting. Accreditation is the highest honour that the Society can bestow and Aron and John can now proudly display the ACS letters after his name. In September the ACS held accreditation screenings and the AGM for the first time in the National Headquarters in Sydney. A fabulous venue that just feels like home, the home of cinematography in Australia. A massive renovation effort and commitment of funds from the ACS, state branches and our sponsors who have once again dug deep. Although sometimes the commitment of time is a struggle, it has been a pleasure to continue to lead the QLD ACS branch over the last twelve months. The QLD branch and the work that our members do continues to impress me and as a state we punch well above our weight. I would like to also welcome Vice President Ian Richards from the Northern Territory who is here tonight on behalf of the President of the Northern Territory branch of the ACS, Andrew Hyde. Film. No Compromise. A MESSAGE FROM THE NT PRESIDENT ANDREW HYDE On behalf of the Northern Territory committee, I welcome you all to the Queensland/NT state awards for cinematography. Firstly let me pay a particular thanks all those that have given their time this year to participate as judges. 2010-11 has seen small but steady growth in the NT Branch, indeed our membership numbers ANDREW HYDE have been slowly but consistently rising over the past 3 years. Credit for this must go to our outgoing President Ian Redfearn who brought no F65 PMW-F3 shortage of wisdom and a stabilising influence to the branch. This year the NT Branch has once again sponsored the award for Best Cinematography at the Territory’s leading short film festival “Fist Full of Films”. Additionally, we have partnered with the Film & Television Association of the NT to facilitate a series of web based workshops and professional development sessions for the local industry. Central to this was Darwin’s first ever masterclass in Cinematography, conducted by Pieter De Vries ACS this past September. The NT Branch continues to be characterised by the consider geographical divide that separates Darwin & Alice Springs. Nearly half of our members are based in the Red Centre making even a simple rudimentary committee meeting often something of a challenge. Nevertheless, the increasing vibrancy of our Branch reflects a Territory that’s going places! NEX-FS100P A special thanks to Tim McGahan ACS, Karen Hayward and the Queensland Committee for their work throughout the year, and in bringing you tonight’s event, and a particular thanks to the sponsors for their continued support.

  • Fulltimeoperationsince1996
    | 23 is 10! | Welcome to a celebration of our 10th birthday. First a word from Tony MacGregor, Chair of the Open City Board of Management. This company was established by Keith Gallasch and Virginia Baxter in 1987 for the collaborative works they performed in theatres, galleries and on radio. In 1994 Open City began to publish RealTime+OnScreen which has been a fulltime operation since 1996. FROM THE CHAIR I’ve been free-associating around those words—real, time—looking for a RT61 JUNE / JULY 04 way into writing about this thing I’ve been hovering around for these past 10 years. Longer really, because RealTime was an idea long before it was a reality, one of those determinations that Keith Gallasch and Virginia Baxter make and then work into existence: “mainstream theatre criticism is hopeless, we need a journal that deals properly with the per- formance community in all its hybrid, messy complexity.” (Or words to that effect.) And, lo, it was so. How many ideas have taken shape, been given form in the endless conversa- tion around that generous wooden table in the kitchen at Womerah Avenue, Darlinghurst where Gallasch and Baxter have lived since their arrival from Adelaide in 1986?
