What’s Up at the CSC The CSC is a not-for-profit volunteer-run organization which serves to foster the art and craft of cinematography in Canada. We encourage our members to volunteer on the various committees dedicated to different aspects of our society. Being part of a committee is also a benefit of being a member; it’s a great way to network and get to know other cinematographers and to come together with shared visions to create new initiatives or assist with ongoing ones.
1. CSC CLUBHOUSE Larry Barrett, the grandson of Roy Tash csc has donated Roy’s film projector to the CSC Clubhouse/Museum. In the post-pandemic future, we intend to photograph all the donated items in the clubhouse and post them on the CSC website.
