The 2014, 43rd ACS National Awards for Cinematography held last weekend on a balmy night at The Tivoli Theatre in Brisbane, and hosted by the ACS Queensland and Northern Territory Branches, were a resounding success.
The evening, with television personality Ray Martin as its MC, highlighted the superb and innovative cinematography of ACS members across all genres and again had FUJINON FUJIFILM as its Major National Sponsor.
