ALLAN STARSKI – SPECIAL AWARD TO THE PRODUCTION DESIGNER<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Three years ago the Organizers of the Plus Camerimage Film Festival<\/b> established a special award presented to a production designer. The reason for that was to emphasise the contribution of those who conceive and prepare a set design and then supervise the production. Until now, the Award has been collected by Dante Ferretti<\/b> (Interview with the Vampire<\/i><\/span>, Gangs of New York<\/i><\/span>, Aviator<\/i><\/span>, Casino<\/i><\/span>), John Myhre<\/b> (What\u2019s Eating Gilbert Grape<\/i><\/span>, Ali<\/i><\/span>, Chicago<\/i><\/span>, Memoirs of a Geisha<\/i><\/span>), Lilly Kilvert<\/b> (The Last Samurai<\/i><\/span>, Crucible<\/i><\/span>, The Strange Days<\/i><\/span>, Legends of the Fall<\/i><\/span>), and Arthur Max<\/b> (Gladiator<\/i><\/span>, Se7en<\/i><\/span>, Black Hawk Down<\/i><\/span>, Kingdom of Heaven<\/i><\/span>, American Gangster<\/i><\/span>). This year\u2019s recipient of the Special Award is Allan Starski<\/b>, who will be a special guest of Plus Camerimage 2009. <\/p>\n
