On the night of Thursday, September 28, the ASC Clubhouse was the place to be as Arri brought their 100th Anniversary celebration to Hollywood (pervious stories here and here) — resulting in a night to remember.


ASC president Kees van Oostrum welcomed the assembled crowd, which included ASC members Bill Butler, James Chressanthis, Dean Cundey, Roger Deakins, Eagle Egilsson, Ellen Kuras, Robert McLachlan, Kramer Morgenthau, Rachel Morrison, Bob Primes, Cynthia Puscheck, Steve Shaw, Amy Vincent and Steve Yedlin.


Below are some photos from this memorable evening:



Inside the Clubhouse, Arri displayed a mini-museum of their cameras from over the last 10 decades.

One of the most unusual cameras on display was this circular, hand-cranked 1924 Kinarri unit (in foreground), Arri's first commercial design.
