ASC

The ASC is currently creating an online index database for all 1,200 issues of the magazine, which will allow cinematographers, students and researchers to easily find and access all 100 years of published AC content... Neither a labor union nor a guild, the ASC is an education, cultural, and professional organization. Membership is by invitation only, extended to directors of photography who have demonstrated outstanding ability with distinguished credits in the industry and good personal character... In 1920, the ASC began publishing a four-page newsletter called The American Cinematographer. It was issued every two weeks until March 1922, when it became a monthly, and American Cinematographer magazine has been published every month since. AC is today an award-winning international publication covering the technology and artistry of visual storytelling, offering print and digital editions. It is also the Society's primary education effort, documenting the creativity and ingenuity..
