There were 11 categories in the 2005 cinematography competition, plus three special honourees and a unique Award of Excellence.
The Bill Hilson Award was presented to Stan Ford, vice-president post-production at
Deluxe Sound and Picture, for outstanding service contributing to the development of the motion
picture industry in Canada. The Fuji Award was received by CSC Executive Director Susan Saranchuk for outstanding service to the Canadian Society of Cinematographers. The Kodak New Century Award went to Harry Makin csc for outstanding contribution to the art of cinematography.
In addition, Jeff Flowers, Western Canada vice-president of marketing for Panavision
Canada, sponsor of the Student Cinematography category, presented a special Award of
Excellence to the makers of one of the student films, It Happened to Us, from Humber College
Institute. Jurors were so delighted with this 21 1/2-minute musical spoof that they screened it
four times over three days, and the CSC decided to give it distinct recognition. Accepting the
Award of Excellence were the head of the Humber College Institute's film and television
program, Donna O'Brien-Sokic, and the film's director, George Vajna. The director of
photography, Kiarash Sadigh, who was nominated for the Student Cinematography Award, could
not attend.
