We received the information about the death of Arthur Hiller<\/strong> with deepest regret. He was a distinguished film director and an active participant of the changes within the industry, as well as a wonderful human being who was always open to the problems of others. His striking sense of aesthetics, sensitivity and proficiency in using the visual language of cinema have influenced the imagination of several generations of viewers. He had shot over thirty features, including such classics as Love Story<\/em><\/span>, The Hospital<\/em><\/span>, and The In-Laws<\/em><\/span>. His films have always provoked tears of laughter and tenderness, and made the audiences think more about the way the modern world works, and how it connects people, or throws them apart.<\/p>\n

Arthur Hiller<\/strong> was especially important for Camerimage<\/strong>, as during his years as the President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (1993-1997) he was an outspoken supporter of the festival, which was then being shaped into what it is right now. Needless to say, over the years he became one of our dearest friends. In 1994, during the 2nd<\/sup> edition of Camerimage<\/strong>, Arthur Hiller<\/strong> even came to Toru\u0144, where he received from Marek \u017bydowicz<\/strong> a special medal for his contribution to the development of the festival. He visited once more, in 1995, and was actively engaged in conversations with Camerimage<\/strong> participants and film school students during workshops and meetings.<\/p>\n

We will honor Arthur Hiller’s<\/strong> memory with a special presentation of his work as part of the upcoming 24th<\/sup> edition of Camerimage<\/strong>.<\/div>\n

Arthur Hiller<\/strong> was born in a family of Polish Jews who emigrated to Canada shortly before his birth. In their new home, the city of Edmonton, his parents have established an amateur Yiddish theater. It\u00a0was there that the young Arthur<\/strong> took his first steps onto the path to a career in the world of art. However, before he joined the entertainment business, he served three years in the Royal Canadian Air Force, including flying bombing raids on Germany during World War II. Hiller commenced his professional career in radio, and consequently in television which was then, in the 1950s, only becoming a powerful medium. There, he had found numerous challenges necessary for his artistic growth, as well as limitless opportunities for what one could do. In the meantime, he had moved to the United States.<\/p>\n

Before he became a renown feature filmmaker, Arthur Hiller<\/strong> shined in the television industry as a director of popular shows. He had shot episodes for such series as Alfred Hitchcock Presents<\/em><\/span>, Perry Mason<\/em><\/span>, The Addams Family<\/em><\/span>, Naked City<\/em><\/span>, and many other. But the world really came to know his name after he directed Love Story<\/em><\/span>, the tragic romance that stormed the box-office in 1970, enchanting millions of cinemagoers and bringing Hiller<\/strong> the Academy Award\u00ae<\/sup> nomination in directing. However, Arthur Hiller<\/strong> did not limit himself only to shooting films, he was also fighting actively for the preservation of film, and he was elected the President of the Directors Guild of America (1989-1993) and of the Academy of Motions Pictures Arts and Sciences (1993-1997).<\/div>\n

We wish to offer our sincere condolences to the family and relatives of Arthur Hiller<\/strong>. The world of cinema lost a great filmmaker and a wonderful human being.
