CINEMATOGRAPHER Robbie Ryan’s lensing of Mike Mills’ “C’mon C’mon” — starring Joaquin Phoenix as a man learning how to take care of a kid for the first time — topped the EnergaCamerimage main competition, collecting the Golden Frog on Saturday during the closing ceremony of the international cinematography film festival.

Bruno Delbonnel’s black and white cinematography in Joel Coen’s “The Tragedy of Macbeth” was awarded the Silver Frog and DP Greig Fraser’s work on Denis Villeneuve’s epic “Dune” claimed the Bronze Frog. “C’mon C’mon” additionally won the Audience Award. Director Joe Wright, the jury chair, announced the winners of the main competition awards. In a video message, Ryan said, “I’m delighted,” thanking director Mills and the filmmakers, saying “we had a lot of fun and I’m really proud of the film.”

Delbonnel, accepting via video from London, where he said he was prepping a project with Alfonso Cuaron and director of photography (DP) Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki, thanked his collaborators and crew, and added, “There is no winner or loser, I want to congratulate every DP. The beauty of our job is we are all different and the way we see the world [is all different].”

“This festival has always been a highlight for me … Standing in this group with my peers and my heroes is quite amazing,” Fraser said, thanking Villeneuve as well as his crew as he accepted the Bronze Frog. Villeneuve called the recognition at the festival — he was additionally on hand to accept a special award for outstanding directing — a “beautiful compliment.”

“Animals,” lensed by Frank van den Eeden and helmed by Nabil Ben Yadir, received the FIPRESCI critics prize. Cannes Palme d’Or winner “Titane,” helmed by Julia Ducournau and shot by Ruben Impens, won the directors’ debut competition; and “My Voice Will Be With You,” lensed by Tristan Gal-and directed by Bruno Tracq, claimed the Golden Frog in the feature documentary competition.

Halyna Hutchins — the cinematographer who was fatally shot last month on the set of “Rust” when a prop gun was discharged — was included in an In Memoriam segment. In his closing remarks, festival director Marek Żydowicz appealed to the film industry to hire responsible people who follow protocols, saying if they had, the tragedy on the set of “Rust” “likely would not have occurred.”

During the week at Camerimage, the American Society of Cinematographers hosted a ceremony to remember the late cinematographer, who was also named as an honorary member of the society.

During the closing ceremony, Jost Vacano (“Das Boot,” “Starship Troopers”) was feted with the Lifetime Achievement Award, saying he was proud of both his artistic work as well as his efforts to fight for artist rights.

Camerimage, held annually in Torun, Poland, has become a bellwether for what’s to come in the cinematography Oscar race. In three of the past five years, the winners of Camerimage’s Golden Frog have gone on to earn Oscar nominations in cinematography. Those films include 2016’s “Lion,” 2019’s “Joker” and 2020’s “Nomadland.” The 2017 Camerimage winner, “On Body and Soul,” was nominated in the foreign-language film Oscar category.

After the awards ceremony, “No Time to Die” director Cary Joji Fukunaga and cinematographer Linus Sandgren introduced their Bond film, which closed the festival. (SD-Agencies)
