Honorary Golden Bear: In Conversation with Martin Scorsese

Honorary Golden Bear: In Conversation with Martin Scorsese

Martin Scorsese moderated by Joanna Hogg
The Berlinale is proud to present this year’s Honorary Golden Bear to a filmmaker who’s constantly pushed the medium toward uncharted paths. With a body of work spanning six decades and over fourty features, running the gamut from crime epics to animated features and religious dramas, Martin Scorsese has revolutionised the medium, and reinvented himself with every new film. His latest, "Killers of the Flower Moon" (Apple Original Films), is a vivid and engrossing testament to the power of cinema to turn into what critic Roger Ebert once called an “empathy machine,” a telepathic conduit between filmmaker and audience. Hosted by none other than acclaimed British director Joanna Hogg, this in-depth panel will invite the two filmmakers to reflect on Scorsese's journey through films, as well as our shared love for cinema in all its languages.

Martin Scorsese

Born in New York in 1942. Ever since Mean Streets in 1973, he has been one of the most prominent proponents of ‘New Hollywood’ cinema. He won the Palme d'Or for "Taxi Driver" in 1976; "Raging Bull" was nominated for eight Academy Awards in 1980. Having already received the Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute in 1997, he won an Academy Award for Best Director in 2007 with "The Departed". His work featured most recently in the Berlinale in 2016 with the revival of several films as part of the Homage to Michael Ballhaus. His lastest film, "Killers of the Flower Moon", received ten Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director.
