Ladies & Gentlemen,
Tonight, I would like to thank everyone involved at the ENERGA CAMERIMAGE
FILM FESTIVAL for this very special and
unique award.

Over the years, I have been lucky enough to work with many incredible cinematographers, including but not limited to; Stefan Cazapsky, Vilko Filac, Monica Lenczewska, Chris Menges, Sven Nykvist, Nicola Pecorini, Philippe Rousselot, Peter Sova, Masanobu Takayanagi, Darius Wolski, and most recently, Benoît Delhomme, on Minamata.

The relationship between the actor and the cinematographer is a pivotal one. You might even say the most important, considering cinema, more than anything, is a visual medium.

With Benoit, we enjoyed a sort of dance together. It was a Joy to come to work every morning, since we never quite knew what was going to happen. Our director, Andrew Levitas, encouraged us to explore and investigate the many ways in which the scene we might be shooting that day, could play out.

I have always been someone who needs to not know what is coming next. To capture those unrehearsed moments - those moments of beautiful mistake - those same moments that make cinema, and life, magic.

So, once again, thank you. I am both honored and humbled.

Sincerely,

Johnny Depp
