2024 Kodak Film Awards

The sixth annual Kodak Film Awards announced their honorees today. The group will be awarded at an invitation-only event on February 23rd at the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) Clubhouse in Los Angeles.

The production company Killer Films will receive the Film Production Company of the Year award at the annual Kodak Film Awards, which will be accepted by the incredible producer Christine Vachon, who just received her first Oscar nomination for Past Lives.

Origin writer-director Ava DuVernay and All of Us Strangers writer-director Andrew Haigh will both receive the Auteur Award for recognition of their directorial achievements of 2023. Academy Award nominee Celine Song will also be honored at the event, receiving the Debut Feature Award for Past Lives.

Oppenheimer cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema, who received his second Academy Award nomination for Christopher Nolan’s latest film, will receive the Lumiere Award, recognizing a distinguished career in cinematography.

Outside of film, the three-time Emmy-nominated limited series Swarm is slated to be honored with the Television Series of the Year Award, with co-creator Janine Nabers accepting on the show’s behalf. Director and visual artist Petra Collins will receive the Music Film Director Award for Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire.”

“We’re excited to celebrate a great year for the film medium. In an era dominated by digital content, artists who create with film—whether for features, television, commercials, or music videos—continue to carve out a distinctive niche,” says Vanessa Bendetti, Head of Motion Picture and Entertainment for Kodak. “The visual properties and process of analog filmmaking significantly contribute to a more profound connection between cinematic storytelling and the audience. This year’s honorees’ deliberate choice to shoot on film illustrates not only an appreciation for the analog art form but also a dedication to preserving its legacy.”
