Marburg Camera Prize
The Marburg Camera Prize is an award given in 2000 by the Philipps University of Marburg and the City of Marburg for nationally and internationally outstanding image design in film and television.
Goal setting
The purpose and goal is to honor the all too often overlooked achievements of important cameramen and camerawomen once a year . The Marburg Camera Prize aims to counteract the “misunderstanding and overlook of the camera performance”. It is intended to draw attention to the fundamental contribution made by film camera art. It serves to highlight camera work as an essential area of film and image culture. The prize can be awarded for the entire work or it can honor the outstanding work of as yet unknown cameramen. This award can be given for the field of feature film as well as for documentary or experimental films.
The Marburg Camera Prize was awarded for the first time on March 2, 2001 during the 3rd Marburg Camera Talks, which are organized annually by the Media Studies Department at Philipps University and the German Cinematography Association . The initiator of the event was and is the Marburg media scientist Karl Prümm .
Structures
The endowment of the camera prize in the amount of 5,000 euros is financed by the city of Marburg and also sponsored in the framework organization by ARRI Arnold & Richter Cine Technik and the Sparkasse Marburg-Biedenkopf.
An advisory board made up of a representative of Marburg Media Studies, the City of Marburg Culture Service, the Marburger Kinobetriebe, the Bundesverband Kamera e. V. as well as renowned film critics . The first prize winner is announced in autumn of the previous year. The ceremony for the handover takes place during the “camera talks” in March in the old auditorium of the Philipps University of Marburg.
