A SENIOR lecturer from the University for the Creative Arts’ (UCA) Farnham film school has been recognised for excellence in cinematography after scooping the inaugural Jules Wright Award for Female Creative Technicians.

Noski Deville was shortlisted alongside 2002 graduate Suzie Lavelle, with the winner announced at the prestigious Jarman Awards.

“I’m honoured to be the first recipient of the Jules Wright Award. She was a very inspiring and wonderful woman and a great believer in creating access for unheard voices,” said Noski, who has previously worked alongside the likes of directors Steve McQueen and Isaac Julien.

The new award, which has been set up by Film London and the Wapping Project, recognises women working in the field of artistic filmmaking.

Noski added: “There are relatively few female cinematographers and there are still barriers to be broken down before more women will be accepted into the field, so I am particularly pleased that this award aims to recognise female talent within the technical, creative arts.”
