CELEBRATING THE UNSUNG HEROES WHO BROUGHT THE MAGIC OF CINEMA TO THE SILVER SCREEN!
For the second consecutive year, Film Heritage Foundation will be presenting its Lifetime Achievement Award for Cinema Projection 2024.
The recipient(s) of the award will be honoured at a special ceremony on September 27, 2024 at Regal Cinema, Mumbai.
With the rise of digital projection and the shift away from film on film screenings, the future of single screen cinemas hangs by a thread, film projectors gather dust and are being sold for scrap and film projectionists have been put out to pasture.
The aim of the Film Heritage Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award for Cinema Projection is to recognise the immense contribution of projectionists to our film history.
Last year, three projectionists were selected to receive the award that was presented to them at a special ceremony on July 26, 2023 by renowned thespian Naseeruddin Shah. The awardees were Lakhan Lal Yadhav, P. A. Salam and Mohammed Aslam, all of whom had worked for over 50 years as film projectionists.
FHF is calling for nominations for an Indian projectionist who has dedicated his life to screening films on celluloid and whose outstanding service to cinema must be recognized. The nominations will be vetted by a selection committee who will select the winning candidate.
Nominations are open from August 15, 2024 to September 15, 2024.
The recipient of the award will be selected by a jury of eminent film personalities.
