Websites of Danish cinematographers :

Jacob Kusk - great-looking website - I'm very envious of his film clips. His movie, Klatretøsen (direct translation: The climbing lass - intl. title Catch That Girl) opened in Danmark January 25, 2002. In Danish

Anthony Dod Mantle - he filmed the dogme film Festen (The Celebration) and Slumdog Millionaire.
Not updated since 2000 ....

Jens Schlosser - worked with Dan as director of photography second unit on Dykkerne.

Cinematography Festivals :

Camerimage is held in Lodz, Poland, every year at the end of November/ start of December. The awards are a gold, silver or bronze frog to the cinematographers and a gold, silver or bronze tadpole to the cinematography students.

Oscar-winning cinematographers:

Oscar's award database - select academy awards database
select award category : cinematography
If you mark off 'winners only' you get a two-page list - if not, you get eleven pages.

Cinematographer organisations:

Dansk Filmfotograf Forbund, Danish Association of Cinematographers

Imago, European Federation of Cinematographers with many great links and a very interesting book.

ASC - American Society of Cinematographers.
They give out the ASC award. As the youngest photographer ever, Storaro, born in 1940, was awarded the lifetime award in 2001, and along with Sven Nykvist, they are the only non-americans to receive this award. His acceptance speech is available on the website.
ASC members have written lists of their tips and trick and which movies have inspired them - and there is a photo of their cosy little clubhouse.
ASC publishes a magazine, American Cinematographer, where some of the articles are available online. Membership is by invitation only.

ICG - International Cinematographer's Guild.
Publishes a monthly magazine, ICG - some of the articles are available online.
For the cinematography student, there is a bunch of very interesting chat transcripts and interviews, as well as some Industry Safety Bulletins - such as how to work safely in extreme cold and heat, working with babies, with exotic reptiles, and they recommend NOT using an orange crate as a doorstep to a dressing room ;-).
They also have discussion boards with Tech Tips on such subjects as 'From Candlelight to Daylight', 'Lens Personalities' and 'The Future of Cinema'. ICG also have a great links section with links to other cinamatographer webpages.

A search on Google with the word 'cinematographers' will give a long list of other cinematographer unions.

DMOZ has many interesting links too:
organisations, a.o. mail lists, and websites of many cinematographers.

Danish film sites

- all in Danish, but here they are anyway:
Filmhuset i København
Filmmedarbejderforeningen - the reviewers who award the Bodil.
Settet.dk
Danskefilm.dk - with forum The Filmschool.

The rest :

Michael Bay - fansite for American director of a.o. Armageddon and Pearl Harbor.

If you know of any other fansites for "behind-the camera" workers, please drop my a few bytes.

And finally - a few of my friends :

Gabriels ord (Gabriel's Word) - a Danish short film that premiered 7 November, 2002. It gives an interesting glimpse into producing a movie with effects on a shoestring budget. In Danish.

Gabriel's Word is directed by David Bjerre - read more about him on IMDB

His and Uffe's fansite for the cute Taiwanese actress Shu Qi - their filmography is more complete than IMDB!
