The Vulcain Prize of the Technical Artist (French: Prix Vulcain de l’Artiste Technicien) is an independent film award for feature films at the Cannes Film Festival official selection since 2003. It rewards a technician for his collaboration in the creation of a film, and it is awarded by an special jury, appointed by the CST.
[edit] History
In 1951, the CST (Superior Technical Commission of Image and Sound) created the Technical Grand Prize of the CST, awarded at the Cannes Festival. That prize existed until 2001. In 2003, the president of the CST Pierre-William Glenn fought to achieve that a prize in Cannes awarded a technician. So the Vulcain Prize of the Technical Artist was born to be part of the Cannes Festival palmarès.
