London, Sep 30 (ANI): ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ director Danny Boyle is set to receive a special award at the upcoming BFI London film festival.
The Oscar-winning director will be honoured with the British Film Institute (BFI) Fellowship for his contribution to the motion picture industry.
“A significant helping of humility is called for in the face of this honour and that is not difficult considering those awarded it before. I am shocked, flattered and delighted to receive the Fellowship on behalf of everyone who has helped me make the films, the successful ones and the not so successful ones, and on behalf of all runts in every litter,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.
The director’s latest movie ‘127 Hours’ is also in the running for the festival’s coveted Best Film honour. (ANI)
