Filmmaker Tavernier to be guest of Kustendorf festival

The festival will take place on January 21-26 in Drvengrad on Mt. Mokra Gora in western Serbia, and the list of guest, as announced earlier, will include Oscar winner Alfonso Cuaron and famous Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky.

Bertrand Tavernier is a director whose films won the highest honors in his country as well as in international film festivals in Berlin and Cannes, says a release issued by the Kustendorf Festival.

Tavernier's films span a wide range of topics and styles - from dark social realist dramas to gentle comedies and lavish period dramas, the release states.

For his first film "The Clockmaker" in 1974, he was awarded the Prix Louis Delluc and the Silver Bear - Special Jury Prize award at the 24th International Film Festival in Berlin.

His 1990 film "Life and Nothing But" won the BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language and four Cesar Awards.

He won the Golden Bear in 1995 for "L'Appat", and four years later, his film "It All Starts Today" won an Honorable Mention, also at the Berlin International Film Festival.

His film "The Princess of Montpensier" competed for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2010.

The Kustendorf festival focuses on non-commercial cinema. It takes place every year in January and aims to bring together renowned filmmakers, winners of the most prestigious international awards and film school students.
