“We are delighted that Oliver Stone has accepted our invitation,” say co-directors Nadja Schildknecht and Karl Spoerri. “Stone has been a friend of our festival for twelve years now. He was recipient of the ‘A Tribute to …’ award during our third year, and our first major Hollywood guest. He has also been an invaluable advocate for the ZFF in Los Angeles. We are doubly thrilled that he is doing us the honour of returning to the ZFF for our last year as its operations directors.”
The American director, screenwriter and producer Oliver Stone won an Oscar for MIDNIGHT EXPRESS, for PLATOON and for BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY.
The Zurich Film Festival is only a few weeks away and will take place this year from Sept. 26th to Oct.6th.
