Panavision Asia Pacific was proud to sponsor The Gongs 2005 which held its awards night on Wednesday 14th September at the State Theatre in Sydney.

The Gongs is an annual not-for-profit awards event set up to recognise and reward the Asia Pacific Region's most talented people and companies involved in the craft and development of commercial moving images.

The members of the Commercial Division of SPAA (Screen Producers Association of Australia) have taken the initiative to create The Gongs to promote and celebrate excellence in the quality of the work, to embrace brilliance and celebrate innovation.

Panavision sponsored the award for Young Director of the Year, which was won by Kezia Barnett from production company The Sweet Shop. Congratulation Kezia from all of us at Panavision Australia and Panavision Lighting. We hope to see more of your work in the near future.

Iain Mackenzie won the cinematography Gong for the Konica Minolta TVC Mud - Make ordinary, extraordinary. Which we have to agree was one of the most beautiful commercials of 2005. Congratulation Iain on your amazing work.
