About the AFC

1 September 2006 - Updated : 1/05

[ English ] [ français ]

The membership of the AFC comprises most of France’s most recognized cinematographers. They distinguish themselves at the forefront of both art and technology through their work on both French and international productions.
Their work has been recognized with awards at many international film festivals.
Our active members are inducted upon recommendation by their peers. Manufacturers and service providers provide us active support as associate members.
They also support us at events such as trade shows, demonstrations of new equipment, or screenings.

We also benefit from an important grant from the CNC for both our daily operations and specific projects, such as

The cinematographers guidelines 2023
our website->www.afcinema.com->https://www.afcinema.com/?&lang=en]
Cinédico, a multi-lingual lexicon on the theme of cinematographic and audiovisual techniques
our Micro Salon AFC show that we organize each year
the AFC’ Prize
AFC News App (Apple and Android mobile phone)
Les Cahiers Lumières

This cooperation between users, suppliers, and institutions allows us to make our voice heard, fight for the continued existence of quality cinematography, test out new techniques, and, in the tradition of the French artistic and cultural debate, affirm our talents as directors’ partners in artistic creation.

As a co-founder of Imago, the European Federation of Cinematographers, the AFC intends to fight for the respect of cultural identities and the preservation of the very mechanisms that have allowed these identities to survive and helped our industry to thrive.
