ASC To Honor Storaro
Vittorio Storaro, ASC, AIC has
been selected to receive the ASC Life¬
time Achievement Award, given annu¬

ally to a cinematographer whose body of
work has made an important and endur¬
ing impression on the art of filmmaking.
The award will be presented at the 15th
Annual ASC Outstanding Achievement
Awards dinner on February 18,2001, at
the Century Plaza Hotel.
Storaro is among elite company,
having won three Academy Awards for
his work on Apocalypse Now, Reds and
The Last Emperor. He was also nomi¬
nated for Dick Tracy. BSC fellow Freddie
Young and ASC fellows Robert Surtees,
Winton Hoch and Arthur Miller

are

the

only other cinematographers to have
won

three Oscars. (ASC fellows Joe

Ruttenberg and Harry Stradling are the
only cinematographers to have won
four.) Storaro's body of Oscar-eligible
work is much smaller in comparison
because many of his early films were
produced and released in Europe.
Storaro's highly notable films also
include The Conformist, 1900, Last
Tango in Paris, Luna, Tucker: The Man
and His Dream, Ladyhawke and
Bulworth. He has also filmed the minis¬
eries Peter the Great, the opera La Traviata, the

documentary The History of
Pome, and the 3-D film Captain Eo. His

most recent works are the feature

Goya

in Bordeaux and the miniseries Dune.

"All great films are a resolution of
conflict between darkness and light,"

he notes. "There is

no single right way to
yourself. There are infinite possi¬
bilities for the use of light with shadows
and colors. The decisions you make
about composition, movement, and the

express

countless combinations of these and
are what make it an art."

other variables

"Vittorio Storaro is

an

extraordi¬

artist with incomparable talents
and skills," says ASC President Victor J.
Kemper. "He is still in the process of
creating an extraordinary body of work;
however, he is already a role model and
nary

constant source of

inspiration for cine¬
matographers and other filmmakers
everywhere in the world. Vittorio has
made an indelible impression."
Kemper pointed out that Storaro
has played an important role as an
outspoken champion for the rights of
cinematographers as co-authors of the
films they help create. Says Storaro, "It
is our obligation to defend the audi¬
ences' rights to see the images and to
hear the sounds the way we have
expressed ourselves as artists."
Storaro is the youngest person to
receive the ASC's Lifetime Achievement
Award. He and Swedish-born Sven

Nykvist, ASC are the only recipients who
are

not native U.S.

citizens.
