REPOST: The British Society of Cinematographers (BSC) wishes to express its disapproval of your recent article in Cinematography World. We are disheartened and angered by your profoundly misogynistic comments and aggressive tone, which we view as symptomatic of a deep-rooted prejudice.
festival deserves better and, as a global festival, has a responsibility to search for and promote the incredible talent that exists worldwide – especially from those groups that have traditionally been underrepresented.

The world of and the images we create are vibrant and diverse, however, it is clear that it hasn’t always been a welcome place for diverse voices. Female cinematographers are one such diverse voice, long denied a seat at the table, and the community of film is rightly seeking positive action to address decades of under-representation.

Sadly, your article presents an outdated view of male superiority in the field, equating fairer gender representation with a drop in artistic values. Your comment, “Can we sacrifice works and artists with outstanding artistic achievements solely to make room for mediocre productions?”, conflates female cinematography with mediocrity. This is deeply sexist and a sad illustration of a personal misogynistic viewpoint.

Earlier this year the BSC and its members supported the petition to ensure better representation at the EnergaCAMERIMAGE festival, optimistic that this edition’s ‘Year of the Brave Women’ theme would bring about change to the festival that many of us see as long overdue. Your article, and the views expressed, are deeply patronising to this incredible group of women and the work they are doing to change the perceptions of people like yourself.

Your remarks have damaged the reputation of your festival, and we urge you to reflect on what you have both said and suggested, and to make a clear plan for how EnergaCAMERIMAGE will address the continuing under-representation of female and .

The BSC stands by its female Cinematographers and Camera Operators; we stand by Women in Cinematography; and we stand by the wider community of filmmaking in opposition to your statements.

"We take a moment to remember and honour the courageous individuals who have served our country. Their sacrifices have shaped our freedoms and continue to inspire us. Lest we forget."

The first Commonwealth war memorial outside London has been unveiled in Bradford in a ceremony honouring the sacrifice and bravery of veterans from the former British colonies.

Families of former Commonwealth troops say it is a 'long time coming', as the contribution of the millions of Black and Asian soldiers who served in both World Wars have been 'overlooked'.

Thank you BBC News for highlighting the contributions from the Commonwealth communities. These are important stories that need to be preserved, honoured, and told.
