The Jack Naylor Award for Cinematography in a Feature Film :
The award, in the sum of 10,000 NIS, was presented to cinematographer Philippe Lavalette for his work on the film Mabul by Guy Nattiv.
The Jury: “One of the pleasures of watching Mabul was the sensitive and eloquent use of a visual cinematic language that holds layers and stories that the spoken language cannot contain. This twilight zone finds a fascinating cinematic expression in the camera of Phillippe Lavalette and the viewer finds himself partly swept partly drowning in the caressing light.”
