Pierre Angénieux Excellens in Cinematography

The Pierre Angénieux ExcelLens in Cinematography is an annual award that pays tribute to a prominent international director of photography at the Cannes Film Festival. The award originated in 2013.

The name comes from Pierre Angénieux, inventor of the retrofocus zoom mechanism and founder of the French manufacturer of high-end zoom lenses. It is not awarded to a film from the Cannes Film Festival official selection but pays tribute to a prominent director of photography whose career is commended by the industry for his/her aesthetic work.
