honour to be in a room with some of the best talent in this country. I really appreciate this.” The Society’s Co-Vice President Carlos Esteves csc was named the 2016 recipient of The President’s Award, “for outstanding service to the Canadian Society of Cinematographers.” Presenting the award was Society President George Willis csc, sasc, who said in his introduction that Esteves through his time, energy and unwavering commitment to the CSC, has taken those qualities to a new level. “If there is any one person that epitomizes the spirit and character of the CSC, it’s Carlos,” Willis said. It was another loud boisterous standing ovation for Esteves as he stood at the podium. In his remarks, Esteves spoke about his dreams for the CSC and the need for volunteerism at the society. “Dreams have a way of becoming hope, and hope has a way of becoming a plan, and plans do have a habit of becoming reality,” Esteves said. “I’m asking you to be dreamers and get involved and support this society. Fifty-nine years ago, a handful of our colleagues had dreams, and look at their legacy today. So ask yourselves, what will be your legacy?” To close the 59th CSC Awards Gala, Willis removed a white cloth draped over an easel to reveal the official 60th CSC anniversary logo. “We start that countdown tonight,” Willis said. “We return next year for the CSC 60th Anniversary Awards Gala to celebrate this momentous milestone in the incredible journey of our Society.” That celebration is only a short 11 months away.
