Iranian filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf has dedicated the Robert Bresson Award to imprisoned Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov.
The award was presented this morning (Sept 7) during the Venice Film Festival by the Fondazione ente dello Spettacolo (FedS) and the cinema magazine Rivista del Cinematografo in recognition of “a director who has given testimony of the difficult path towards the search for the spiritual meaning of life”.
Founded in 1999, the award has been received in past years by directors such as Manoel de Oliveira, Alexander Sokurov, Ken Loach and Wim Wenders.
Makhmalbaf’s most recent film, The President, was shown in Venice last year.
Speaking to ScreenDaily ahead of the award ceremony, Makhmalbaf said that he had been made aware of Sentsov’s fate by festival programming director Alexey Medvedev when he served as jury president at the On The Edge Film Festival in the Russian Far East town of Sakhalin last month.
