FRENCH COMPOSER JARRE HONOURED AT BERLIN FESTIVAL
French composer MAURICE JARRE will be honoured with a lifetime achievement award at next year’s (09) Berlin Film Festival for his pioneering musical scores.
The 84-year-old Academy Award winner will pick up the Honorary Golden Bear prize on 12 February (09) at the 59th annual event.
Festival chief Dieter Kosslick said on Tuesday (16Dec08), "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 unforgettable in cinema history." (JMA/WNWA/JMA) WENN - SIXTH - HOLLYWOOD, SHOWBIZ & PEOPLE NEWS - 16 December 2008
