It is our great pleasure to announce that this year, during the 18th edition of PLUS CAMERIMAGE Festival<\/b>, the Special Award to the Production Designer with Unique Visual Sensitivity will be granted to Stuart Craig<\/b>, production designer on Harry Potter<\/i><\/span>, The English Patient<\/i><\/span>, Gandhi<\/i><\/span> and Agnieszka Holland’s<\/b>Secret Garden<\/i><\/span>. <\/p>\n


Stuart Craig <\/p>\n

Stuart Craig<\/b> has spent the last decade bringing the magical world of Hogwarts to life as production designer on each of the Harry Potter<\/i><\/span> films. His masterful mix of creating fantastical sets and incorporating visual effects into the films’ seamless design has continually wowed audiences for what is now the highest grossing film series of all time. At author J.K. Rowling’s<\/b> behest, Craig, despite his daunting work schedule, also lent his expertise in designing the newly-opened Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Orlando resort. <\/p>\n

A three-time Academy Award winner, Craig began his fruitful partnership with director Richard Attenborough<\/b> on Gandhi<\/i><\/span> and took home his first Oscar for his work on the historical epic. Craig also teamed up with Attenborough on Cry Freedom<\/i><\/span>, Chaplin<\/i><\/span> starring Robert Downey, Jr.<\/b>, Shadowlands<\/i><\/span> and In Love And War<\/i><\/span>. He earned his second Oscar for his sumptuous work depicting the French rococo in Dangerous Liaisons and notched his third statuette on Anthony Minghella’s<\/b>The English Patient<\/i><\/span>. Craig’s use of the Tunisian deserts and combining builds with practical locations for the wrecked Italian monastery were integral in capturing the titular character’s plight and also helped secure the first of his two Art Directors Guild Awards. <\/p>\n

Other notable achievements include building Tarzan’s cabin atop the Mount Cameroon volcano in Greystoke: The Legend Of Tarzan, Lord Of The Apes<\/i><\/span>, delving deep into 17th century South American wilderness on Roland Joff\u00e9’s<\/b>The Mission<\/i><\/span>, showcasing deserted London landscapes for The Avengers<\/i><\/span>, tackling a bustling and contemporary West London in Notting Hill<\/i><\/span>, and recreating 1920s Savannah, Georgia for Robert Redford’s<\/b> inspirational tale The Legend Of Bagger Vance<\/i><\/span>. Over his highly decorated career, Craig has amassed 13 BAFTA Award nominations – winning twice – which includes one for each of the Harry Potter<\/i><\/span> films released thus far. <\/p>\n

In 2004, Craig earned the title of Royal Designer for Industry, the highest accolade for a designer in manufacturing and industry in the UK. Craig also received the Art Directors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008. He happily resides with his wife Patricia in Berkshire, England. <\/p>\n
