Today, the 26th edition of the International Film Festival of the Art of Cinematography EnergaCAMERIMAGE was officially opened in the Opera Nova Congress Centre in Bydgoszcz. During the Opening Gala Witold Sobociński received Camerimage Lifetime Achievement Award, Jean-Marie Dreujou and Jean-Jacques Annaud accepted the Cinematographer - Director Duo Award, and Carol Littleton picked up the Award to Editor with Unique Visual Sensitivity. The Festival also presented two premiere screenings: At Eternity's Gate (dir. Julian Schnabel, cin. Benoît Delhomme) and The Old Man & the Gun (dir. David Lowery, cin. Joe Anderson).

The camera hangs in the air in the middle of a sleepy American neighbourhood. We can see buildings, ropes with fresh laundry and some guy stretching indolently on the hood of a nearby Cadillac. A few seconds later, there is the first hint of movement: a dog passes by down the street, a woman flips some cloth from her balcony, a man sweeps out the sand from in front of his shop. Suddenly, the camera starts to move and will not stop for the next four and a half minutes, in five fluid takes edited seamlessly to look like one long shot.
