The Berlin Film Festival will recognise Martin Scorsese‘s outsized contributions to cinema with a lifetime achievement award at its 74th iteration this February, organizers stated on Thursday.
Festival organizers – who described the Oscar-winning director’s newest movie “Killers of the Flower Moon” as one in all his biggest achievements – will award Scorsese, 81, an honorary Golden Bear on Feb. 20.
With the award, he’ll be a part of different winners similar to Steven Spielberg, Helen Mirren, Ian McKellen and Dustin Hoffman.
“For anyone who considers cinema as the art of shaping a story in such a way that is both completely personal and universal, Martin Scorsese is an unmatched role model,” stated competition director duo Mariette Rissenbeek and Carlo Chatrian.
Scorsese, who established himself as one of many core filmmakers of the New Hollywood period with 1976’s “Taxi Driver”, received his first Oscar in 2007 for “The Departed” after being nominated seven instances for the movie trade’s high honour.
“Killers of the Flower Moon“, concerning the murders of American Indians in Oklahoma within the Twenties, is a favorite for a finest image Oscar nomination and already is a Golden Globe nominee.
Other well-known movies by New York City-born Scorsese embody “Gangs of New York”, “Goodfellas” and “Raging Bull”.
