Martin Scorsese will be feted with an honorary Golden Bear at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, running from February 15 to 25, 2024.
He will receive the award for his lifetime achievement in a special ceremony on February 20. “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,” said Berlinale managing director Mariëtte Rissenbeek and Artistic Director Carlo Chatrian. “His films have accompanied our history as spectators and human beings, his characters have lived and grown within us, his view of history and mankind has helped us to understand and question who we are and where we come from.
Killers of the Flower Moon, his latest film, is one of his greatest achievements. As Scorsese himself so eloquently has said, the film is an ‘offering that acknowledges the extent of the terror the Osage community experienced, and one that might also give some kind of solace’.
It is a great pleasure to welcome once more a good friend of the festival and offer him our most prestigious prize of honour.” A raft of Scorsese’s films have screened at the Berlinale kicking off with Raging Bull, which played Out of Competition in 1981; followed by Cape Fear, which screened in Competition in 1992; Gangs of New York, which played out of Out of competition in 2003 and returned for a retrospective screening in 2010.
