Michael Douglas will be honored at the 22nd ANNUAL PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
The 22nd Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival (PSIFF) will present Academy Award winner Michael Douglas with the Icon Award on Thursday, January 13, 2011.
“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to honor Michael Douglas at a time when both his creative prowess and his contributions to World cinema have never been more evident – or more deserving of celebration, Festival Director Darryl Macdonald said. “Simply put, he’s an American treasure.”
The Icon Award honors a creative talent who, through the course of his or her career, has created a body of work which symbolizes the highest level of achievement in the motion picture art form.
The Festival will devote an evening to the Oscar® winning actor and producer, as part of its Talking Pictures: The Contenders Series, which focuses on the films and the actors that are emerging among the front-runners leading up to the Academy Award nominations.
The tribute will include the presentation of its Icon Award, a selection of clips from his films, an on-stage conversation with Douglas and Variety’s Peter Bart and a screening of Solitary Man.
