MILAN — British director and producer Ridley Scott will be the recipient of the inaugural Cartier Glory to the Filmmaker Award at the 78th Venice International Film Festival, running Sept. 1 to 11.
The recognition is part of Cartier’s sponsorship of the festival this year. As reported, the French jewelry house last month partnered with La Biennale di Venezia to become main sponsor of the event starting this year, jointly contributing to supporting contemporary film creation. Scott’s future projects also include “Kit Bag,” in which Joaquin Phoenix is set to star as French military leader and emperor Napoleon.
“His indisputable merits include the extraordinary visual talent and painterly taste he has demonstrated in the creation of sumptuous Baroque and graphically majestic images, accompanied by a rare and priceless talent for directing actors,” concluded Barbera.
