Press release from the ACS
Since it's formation in 1958, the Australian Cinematographers Society (ACS) has been working towards having it's own National Headquarters. Something similar to the ASC and the BSC, where members can gather for informal meetings, screenings, small exhibitions and other, similar activities.
This has finally come about primarily because of the far sightedness of former ACS President and Treasurer, Bruce Hillyard ACS, who invested funds wisely and prudently and those investments are now bearing fruit.
Located at 22 Ridge St. North Sydney, the premises will be a meeting place for all members from all Branches along with visitors from the industry generally and other Guilds and Societies. Be assured, the welcome mat will be out.
The National Headquarters Committee has worked tirelessly to bring this to fruition and we will all look forward to raising the sign that will read: THE AUSTRALIAN CINEMATOGRAPHERS SOCIETY: JOHN LEAKE OAM ACS NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS in the coming months.
