Award for Isabelle
The French actress Isabelle Huppert will be given this year's prize named after Douglas Sirk, which will be handed over during the Hamburg Film Festival (September 19-26). The award is given to a personality who has made a noteworthy cultural contribution to the world of cinema.
“We’re happy” said the director of the festival, Albert Widerspiel “to award a European actress who has also become an international star through her film performances. We have to show more pride in our stars, especially because it is difficult to talk about European cinema”.
Isabelle Huppert recently won a Silver Bear at Berlin for 8 Women [+see also:
