Flashpoint Academy Students, Faculty and Major Industry Pros Attend an Exclusive Workshop with Famed Cinematographer VILMOS ZSIGMOND






MANY THANKS TO ESSANAY STUDIOS FOR HOSTING THE EVENT AND TO TOM FLETCHER FOR HELPING TO ARRANGE THIS UNIQUE AND HISTORIC EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR OUR STUDENTS



The great body of work by one of the premier cinematographers of the world, Vilmos Zsigmond, two-time Academy Award winner, moves across the cinema screen in a slow and majestic waltz of gorgeous lighting and rich tones. DELIVERANCE, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, HEAVEN'S GATE, THE LONG GOODBYE, McCABE AND MRS MILLER, THE DEER HUNTER, THE TWO JAKES and most recently MAVERICK, are a few of the films where his camera has moved the cinematic experience, always to new heights.
