Description The work of a technician for his collaboration to the creation of a film Location Cannes Country France Presented by CST First awarded 2003 (1951) Website http://www.cst.fr/
The Vulcan Award of the Technical Artist (Template:Lang-fr ) is an independent film award created in 2003. It rewards the work of a technician for his or hers collaboration in the creation of a film from the official selection of the Cannes Film Festival .[ 1] It is awarded by a special jury, appointed by the Superior Technical Commission of Image and Sound (Template:Lang-fr or CST).
History
In 1951, the CST created the Technical Grand Prize (Template:Lang-fr ) of the CST, awarded during the Cannes Film Festival. That prize existed until 2001.
In 2003, Pierre-William Glenn, president of the CST, struggled to once again have a prize awarded to a technician during the Cannes Film Festival. Thus the Vulcan Award of the Technical Artist was born as a part of the festival roster and approved by the festival's president Gilles Jacob.[ 2]
The trophy
The actual trophy is awarded to the winner in Paris, during a special evening following the festival.[ 2]
It is inspired by an image from Jean-Luc Godard 's movie Le Mépris (Contempt ) (1963) and represents a movie camera with analog and numeric elements.[ 3]
