Berlin Film Festival to honour Jarre with lifetime achievement award
MUMBAI: The Berlin Film Festival, which runs from 5-15 February, is set to honour Oscar-winning French composer Maurice Jarre with lifetime achievement award.
84-year-old Jarre, winner of three Oscars for Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago and A Passage to India, will receive his Golden Bear at a ceremony on 12 February.
“Film composers often are in the shadows of great directors and acting stars. It‘s different with Maurice Jarre; the music of Doctor Zhivago, like much of his work, is world-famous and remains unforgotten in the history of cinema,” said Berlinale festival director Dieter Kosslick.
