Winner | 2007 | Camerimage | Golden Frog | Main Competition | Janusz Kaminski, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly | This film has advanced the art of cinematography and also takes the audience on a journey, one is totally unprepared for. It's a film where the collaboration between the cinematographer and the director felt seamless. It's bold, audacious, and visually challenging. It allows to see an extraordinary part of human nature in a fresh and profound way. It's a very personal film whose photography was organic to the story - a story that expresses the trapped circumstances of an individual. The frame of composition and camera gives the feeling of being trapped - and yet it also gives a feeling of exhilaration and hope.

Winner | 2008 | AFI Awards, USA | AFI Award | Movie of the Year | The Diving Bell and the Butterfly | THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY is a soaring cinematic achievement, one where the transportive nature of film takes us inside the mind of a paralyzed protagonist. Director Julian Schnabel astounds in his fusion of poetry, humor and profound humanity to examine the struggle from inside the mind as the character reaches for the impossible. Janusz Kaminski's brilliant cinematography illuminates the film's commanding point of view, visually enveloping the audience in the deeply emotional, but remarkably unsentimental screenplay by Ronald Harwood. Adapted from an extraordinary true story, the film challenges us to look into a mirror, appreciate the fragility of our own lives and marvel at the power of the mind.
