Ari Wegner ASC ACS has won Best Cinematographer at the second annual Girls on Film awards, rewarding exceptional women in cinema, for her work on The Wonder and The Power Of The Dog.
Girls on Film voters said that the work of Ari Wegner has gone from strength to strength.
“Ari Wegner has won this award for The Wonder and The Power Of The Dog, in which she uses moody, intimate yet bold imagery. She can take the viewer effortlessly from a dark, draughty attic with a dying girl, to sweaty, opium-induced dreams of loss, to a brassy, frost-bitten Irish countryside, whilst retaining a unity within the film. She has an exquisite eye for tone and composition.”
