A film about the 5th International Film Festival of Cinematographers "Camerimage '97," which was held traditionally in Toruń from November 30 to December 6 last year. The author attempts to present the psychological and technical conditions of the cinematographer's profession and to sketch a collective portrait of those who practice it. The program includes interviews with the world's most outstanding cinematographers. Last year's festival brought together such great names as Ron Fortunato, Jack N. Green, and Vilmos Zsigmond. The film also shows workshops led by the best professionals in the field. Students exploring the secrets of this difficult art will talk about their expectations of the cinematographer profession. The individual sequences of the film have been composed by the director in such a way that they form a narrative sequence according to the growing emotions and moods, abstracting from the chronology of the festival events.
