Los Amgeles: Actor-director Angelina
Jolie will be honoured by the American Society of
Cinematographers with ASC Board of Governors Award.
Jolie will be felicitated with award during the 32nd

The Board of Governors Award is given to individuals in
the industry whose body of work has made significant and
indelible contributions to cinema, the ASC said in a

to present her with our Board of Governors Award," he added.
