Girard-Perregaux, luxury Swiss watchmaker and partner of the Festival
Lumière, honored iconic Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino recipient of the 5th
Lumière Award. The
Lumière Award was created by The Lumière Institute to celebrate an artist, in
Lyon, the very place where the cinematograph was invented by Louis and Auguste Lumière,
where they shot their first film, Sortie d’Usine, in 1895.
Following the award
ceremony, Quentin Tarantino was presented
a
Girard-Perregaux 1966 Annual Calendar and Equation of Time.
‘Quentin Tarantino has left
his mark on cinema to become one of the most influential and distinctive
directors of his generation. His bold creative spirit has brought great
innovation to modern cinema’, said Michele Sofisti.
